In recent years, the advances in microscale heat transfer and fluid flowwere remarkable and applications using microscale phenomena have become popular. Especially, innovations in electronic technology and biotechnology are striking.
In 2008 ECI Conferences at Whistler, understanding these microscale
phenomena has been improved. Nevertheless, it is needed to explore heat
and fluid flow in further smaller scale, that is, nanoscale. A large number
of experiments and numerical analyses are being carried out in many laboratories
all over the world. However, there is a lack of synergy between the many researchesthat
are currently in progress and this conference presents an auspicious opportunity
for coordination of the many efforts at an international level.
