DAVIDSON Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, U.S.A. lNTRODUCTlON This review surveys and characterizes papers com- prising various fields of heat transfer that were pub- lished in the literature during 1993. It is intended to encompass the English language literature, including English translations of foreign language papers, and also includes many foreign language papers for which English abstracts are available. The literature search was inclusive, however, the great number of pub- lications made selections in some of the review sections necessary. Several conferences during 1993 were devoted to heat transfer or included heat transfer topics in their sessions. They will be briefly discussed in chrono- logical order in this :section. The 6th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena in Thermal Engineering was organized by the Pacific Center of Thermal Fluids engineering in Seoul, Korea on 9-13 May. The program included heat exchangers, electronic equipment cooling and thermal control of equipment among its topics. Papers are included in a bound volume. The 38th ASME International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exposition (ASME Turbo Expo 93) 2427 May at Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A. contained in its program sessions on heat transfer, unsteady effects, external, internal and film cooling. Papers are available at the ASME order department. The AIAA 28th Ther- mophysics Conference, held in Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. presented among others papers on conduction, convection, radiation, phase change and thermal pro- tection of spacecraft. Two conferences ‘organized by the Institute for Numerical Methods, University of Swansea, U.K. are of interest to workers in heat transfer: Numerical Methods for Thermal Problems, held 11-16 July and Numerical Methods in Laminar and Turbulent Flow, 18-23 July. Some papers are published in the Journal of the Institute. The Fourth International Conferences on Circulating Fluid Beds in Somerset, Pennsylvania, U.S.A., l-5 August contained a session on heat and mass transfer. Papers are published in the conference proceedings. The conference is sponsored by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. The 29th National Heat Transfer Conference in Atlanta, Geor- gia, U.S.A. on 8-11 August was organized by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Its pro- gram encompassed all phases of heat transfer. Only a few topics will be listed here : spray and solid surface heat transfer interactions, process heat transfer, two- and multiphase flow, fouling, compact heat exchangers, engineering education, thin films, gas tur- bine, nuclear heat transfer, fire and combustion, and heat transfer in the oceans. The ASME Calvin Lecture on “Nuclear Power-Its Future Role in an Uncertain World” was given by John G. Collier. W. M. Kays received the 1992 Max Jakob Memorial Award and presented a lecture entitled “Turbulent Prandtl Num- ber-where are We?” S. Levy was the recipient of the Donald Q. Kern Award and lectured on “ Multi- component, Multiphase Heat Transfer” . Proceed- ings of the conference are available from the ASME order department or through the AIChE. The International Center for Heat and Mass Trans- fer organized symposia on Heat and Mass Transfer in Energy Systems and Environmental Effects in Cancun, Mexico on 22-25 August and on New Developments in Heat Exchangers at Lisbon, Portugal on 6-9 Sep- tember. The majority of papers are published in bound volumes. The 7th Congress and Exposition, Gas Tur- bines in Cogeneration and Utility, Industrial and Inde- pendent Power Generation (ASME Cogen Turbo Power 93) held at Bournemouth, U.K. on 21-23 Sep- tember listed in its program no papers solely devoted to heat transfer, but transport processes were involved in various presentations. The 3rd World Conference on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, organized by an ad-hoc assembly, was held at Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A., 31 October-5 November. The 114th Winter Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at New Orleans, Lou- isiana, U.S.A. on 28 November-3 December included, as customary, a significant program in heat transfer organized in general, panel, poster sessions and sym- posia. Topics of the sessions ranged from heat and mass transfer in biosystems under microconditions, at microgravity, in fires, manufacturing and composite materials, to experimental and computational aspects of basic transport processes. Panel sessions discussed internationalization of heat transfer issues and innov- 885
