ABSTRACT The Annual Review of Heat Transfer will always miss its founding editor, Professor Chang-Lin Tien, former Chancellor of University of California at Berkeley. He was a giant in the field of Heat Transfer and has made an immense and long-lasting impact on heat transfer research and researchers all over the world. Volume 14 of this publication will be dedicated to its founder who will always live in our hearts and minds.
To continue the rich tradition of ARHT, Bill Begell, the publisher-friend of heat transfer community, and I have invited Professors Yogesh Jaluria and Gang Chen to join me as co-editors. The future volume (beginning with Volume 14) will be jointly edited by Prasad-Jaluria-Chen team.
Professor Yogesh Jaluria, Board of Governors Professor at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, is well known in our community having contributed about three hundred fifty articles in research in several diverse areas, particularly natural and mixed convection heat transfer, enclosure fires, thermal processing of materials, environmental transport processes, design of thermal systems, computational heat transfer, and energy systems. Professor Jaluria is the recipient of the 2002 Max Jakob Memorial Award for Heat Transfer and the 2000 Freeman Scholar Award from the ASME, as well as the 1995 ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award for Science.
The stability of the Editorial team, as in any mechanical engineering structural system is assured by the addition of a third, reputable and respected researcher in the field of heat transfer and micro-/nano-scale phenomena, Professor Gang Chen of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His wide interests are reflected in over one hundred fifty papers in engineering and physics covering the experimental, theoretical and numerical study of fundamental energy conversion and transport mechanisms at micro- and nanometer scales, solid-state energy conversion systems and nanomaterials based on thermoelectrics and thermovoltaics. He is also developing microelectromechanical systems, thermal sensors, electromagnetic metamaterials, and nanofabrication.
This thirteenth volume of Annual Review of Heat Transfer presents four articles in four different areas of heat transfer and energy systems. The first paper deals with thermal transport in microchannels, particularly with respect to its application in microelectronics cooling. In general, the use of microchannels can enhance heat dissipation; however, there exist several transport anomalies and deviations from the phenomena that are observed in conventional channels.
The second article analyzes the transport phenomena and crystal-melt interface shape in crystal growth processes. It shows that the coupling between the two is highly complex and often leads to nonlinear bifurcations such as symmetry breaking, multiple states, and unsteady behavior, which, in turn, can have strong impact on the quality of the crystal. This article also discusses some of the interface control techniques, e.g. rotation and vibration, in the case of zone melting and Bridgman crystal growth.
The third paper is a comprehensive review of the liquid crystal thermography presented thus far. In addition to presenting the historical background of liquid crystals, it discusses in detail the imaging technique, color space selection and calibration methods. Selected results are presented for both single and two-phase convective systems. The article also reports the work done to extend liquid crystal thermography to three-dimensional measurement that is still in its embryonic stage.
The fourth and last paper of this volume deals with heat and mass transfer enhancement in multiphase liquid systems using the discrete and pulse input of energy (DPIE). The intensification effect is shown to be a strong function of the dynamic actions of bubbles when they are made to grow or collapse by a rapid change in ambient pressure. The innovative technique of DPIE can be quite efficient and can save energy in advanced production processes as well.
I would like to thank the participating authors for their valuable contributions, to Begell House for their support, to Prof. Victor Grinchenko and Dr. Valery Oliynik for editorial assistance, Nadia Rivadeneira for her secretarial help, and to the thermal science and processing community for their continued support and input.  download article
