Professor Kostic's 9-Days Trip with 8-Days in China and 7-Presentations
Professor Milivoje M. Kostic of NIU's Department of Mechanical Engineering visited China Golden Triangle, the Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo area, in January 2009. He presented two invited lectures about energy fundaments, applications, and future outlook at two prestigious Chinese universities, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU-Energy Research Institute) and Zhejiang University (ZJU-Institute for Thermal Power Engineering) in Hangzhou, the latter hosting the State Key Laboratory of Clean Energy Utilization.
He also presented two invited Plenary Lectures, "Heat Transfer, Thermal Energy and Entropy - Demystified " at The 6th WSEAS International Conference on HEAT and MASS TRANSFER (HMT'09), and "The CFD Simulation of Flooding Flows and Scouring Around Bridge Structures for Improved Design and Stability" at The 6th WSEAS International Conference on FLUID MECHANICS (FLUIDS'09), in Ningbo, China, both organized by the World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society (WSEAS). The Plenary Lectures were related to Kostic's research activities at NIU, in fundamentals and application of energy, heat transfer, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), a joint research project with Argonne's Transportation Research and Analysis Computing Center (TRACC).
In addition, Professor Kostic presented three conference papers, co-authored by NIU's collaborators. One of the papers, "Computerized, Transient Hot-Wire Thermal Conductivity Apparatus for Nanofluids," written by Kostic and Simham, ME graduate student, has been awarded as the Best HMT'09 Conference Paper.
