LETTERFROM THE

CHAIRDr. Arun Muley

am pleased to report that the ASME Heat Transfer Division (HTD)continues to improve the state of heat transfer science and engineering by offeringexcellent programs and services of interest to its members and the global mechanicalengineering community. In 2017, the HTD noticed several positive and welcomechanges in the ASME. These include increased engagement with other technicaldivisions, segments and inter-society collaborations, and willingness of ASMEleadership to listen and responds to members’ concerns. The HTD participated in aDivision Leadership Meeting, sponsored by the ASME President, Charla Wise, andheld on 18th September 2017 at the ASME Headquarters in New York. The meetingprovided a forum for divisions to voice their concerns and provided feedback to aPresidential Tiger team. One major outcome of this initiative is that the ASME Boardof Governors has approved resumption of funding of divisional segregated (formallyknown as “custodial”) accounts. This is indeed a welcome development, as the futureof divisional finance has been one of the top concerns for the members. The HTDhas been working with the Engineering Sciences Segment (ESS) for improvedconference coordination and developing new multi-disciplinary programs. In addition,the HTD participated in two other society level initiatives; (1) 2018 Group LeadershipDevelopment Conference (GLDC), organized by the newly formed ASME GroupEngagement Committee (GEC) and held in Orlando, FL, and

(2) ASME Annual Public Policy Events in Washington, DC. While GLDCoffered an excellent training and collaboration opportunity, the AnnualPublic Policy meeting provided a forum for the HTD leadership tocommunicate divisional/society priorities at a national level and influencethe US government’s Science and Technology budget allocation process.

In 2017-2018, the HTD organized the Summer Heat Transfer Conference(SHTC) and the Thermal-Fluid program in the International Mechanicalengineering Conference and Exposition (IMECE). The 2017 SHTC, held inBellevue, WA, and organized by Drs. Arun Muley, John Maulbetsch, andNesrin Ozalp, offered a vibrant technical program with several symposia,panels, and tours of a Boeing plant and the University of Washington. Forthe first time, the SHTC exhibit included a booth from an AdditiveManufacturing (AM) company. The technical program included 350 papersand presentations, the 2016 Max Jacob and the D. Q. Kern award lecturesand several other keynote talks. The HTD collaborated with the AIChE inhosting a special symposium in memory of Professor Stuart W. Churchill.This well-attended symposium included keynotes from Professors W. D.Seider and P. S. Ayyaswamy, who had long-standing interactions withProfessor Churchill. They enumerated Professor Churchill’s outstandinglegacy, service and contributions to the heat transfer community.

The Heat Transfer Division offered a comprehensive program in the 2017IMECE in Tampa, FL. Professor Raj Manglik of the University of Cincinnatiserved as the Chair and Dr. Subramanyaravi (Ravi) Annapragada of theUnited Technology Research Center (UTRC) as the co-chair of the HTDtrack, Heat Transfer and Thermal Engineering. The technical programsponsored by eighteen technical K-committees of the division wascomprised of a broad range of topics on fundamentals of heat and masstransfer in single and multi-phase flows, enhanced heat transfer, compactheat exchangers, nanoscale transport phenomena, and computational heattransfer, among others. The HTD plenary lecture was delivered byProfessor Adrian Bejan, who was the recipient of the 2017 Ralph Coats RoeMedal.

The K-16 committee has sponsored a new student design competition on addtitivelymanufactured heat sinks. Eight student teams from around the country participated in the challenge of designing a novel heat sink to maximize thermal performance by utilizing additive manufacturing capability. Heat sinks were printed by an industry sponsor and tested to determine the winning design. This activity, led by Prof. Joshua Gess from Oregon State University, will culminate in a technical session at InterPACK2018 where the winners will be announced. It is expected that the K-16 committee will continue to sponsor this event in future years as well.

However, number of citations in 2017 has increased by 37% over the 2016 numbers (354 citations in 2016 to 484 in 2017). The increase in the number of citations mirrors a significant increase in the number of papers published in 2017 over those published in 2016. The Impact Factor is a metric measuring the number of citations for papers published in the journal in two consecutive years divided by the number of papers published in the journal in the same two-year period. It is a form of citation index and should be understood as such. For this journal, the period corresponding to the 2017 data (released in June 2018) is from January 2015 to December 2016 while the 2018 data (when released in June 2019) will be reporting on the period January 2016 through December 2017.The Journal relies heavily on a large database of peer reviewers who are willing and able to maintain a high standard of publications that is known and expected of all ASME journals. This database continues to grow and is maintained by ASME through its online paper submission and review system. In 2017, ASME started a new tradition of selecting the Reviewer of the Year for each of its journals. For the JTSEA, the 2017 Reviewers of the Year are Dr. Andrew Rees of the University of Bath (UK) and Professor John C. Chai of the University of Huddersfield(UK). This is a recognition beyond the traditional Best Reviewers who also perform outstanding work for the Journal. The Reviewers of the Year are outstanding reviewers who have performed a large number of reviews and went beyond the call of duty to serve the Journal. The JTSEA Best Reviewers for 2017 are Dr. Steven O'Halloran of AGCO Corporation, Dr. Heeseok Koo of Sandia National Labs, Dr. Andrew Rees of the University of Bath (UK), and Dr. Yit Fatt Yap of the Petroleum Institute (UAE).

There is a cadre of ASME staff working behind the scenes to make my job and those of the Associate Editors, reviewers, and authors easy. I am indebted to all of them as I found them eager to assist me and all involved in a most professional and efficient way. I would like to especially thank Ms. Beth Darchi who handles all issues pertaining to operating the Journal Toolbox, Ms. Judith Sierant who works in the Journals Production Department, and Ms. Tamiko Fung who handles copyright issues and page charges among other things. Earlier in 2018 Ms. Sierant retired after many years of service to ASME. Ms. Jennifer Smith took over the job of Judy Sierant. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Ms. Sierant for an exceptionally well done job. I have enjoyed my interaction with Judy and found her extremely efficient and a pleasure to work with. I would also like to welcome Ms. Jennifer Smith and want to wish her the best for her new assignment.The Journal would not exist without the many hours of work put forth by the authors, reviewers, and Associate Editors which complement the many hours put forth by ASME staff. Like other ASME journals, JTSEA is no exception in that both volunteers and staff work harmoniously together to present an excellent product for researchers and engineers in the area of applied thermal sciences and engineering. If you want to be involved as a reviewer feel free to contact me with your CV and I will see to it that your name is added to the reviewers’ database.

The number of submissions to the journal have declined from 2016-2017 (39 submissions). This is primarily due to lack of contributions bymembers of the Heat Transfer Division. Most of the contributions havecome from members who affiliate themselves with the FluidsEngineering Division. Members of the Heat Transfer Division arestrongly encouraged to submit their contributions to the journal inorder to keep the journal thriving.

We encourage authors of papers that describe discipline specificmodels and experiments to consider formulating their papers in twoparts, the discipline specific part to be published in their home journalsand the part describing the validation and uncertainty aspects of theirwork that would be published in the JVVUQ.

We believe that this approach would be especially relevant tomembers of the Heat Transfer Division whose papers frequentlyinvolve validation and uncertainty quantification.

I also encourage any division members who know of conferences thatare likely to involve presentations/papers that involve validation oruncertainty to email me (emery@uw.edu) with the conferenceinformation. I can then identify and contact prospective authors.
