ANNOUNCEMENT
4th Miami International Symposium on
,Vlulti-Phase Transport & Particulate Phenomena Miami Beach, Florida, U.S.A. 15 - 17 D e c e m b e r 1 9 8 6
INTRODUCTION After three successful Symposium-Workshops on Multi-Phase Flow and Heat Transfer, and one successful International Symposium-Workshop on Particulate and Multi-Phase Processes, because of the overlap of the subject matter, two series are being combined under the 4th Miami International Symposium on Multi-Phase Transport and Particulate Phenomena. Recent developments in the fields of multi-phase transport and particulate phenomena have resulted in renewed emphasis on these subjects. In the tradition established by the previous meetings, this international symposium will provide an event worthy of these important subjects.
OBJECTIVES This symposium will provide the latest information on the status of multi-phase transport and particulate phenomena research, development and applications. It will also establish a rational basis for identification of areas of multi-phase transport and particulate phenomena for further research and development. The meeting will provide an international forum for exchange of knowledge with particular emphasis on a strong interaction between participants from universities, industry, commercial and non-profit research institutes and governments. PROGRAM FORMAT In keeping with these objectives, invited experts from many disciplines will present lectures on multi-phase transport and particulate phenomena. Presentation and poster sessions on eight broad and interdisciplinary areas are planned The tentative list of the areas and the topics to be covered are as follows: i. Formulation (Modeling) of MultiPhase Transport Basic Models Heat Transfer Formulation Pressure-drop Formulation Codes for Nuclear Applications Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions !!. Boiling and Condensation Pool Boiling Jets impinging on hot surfaces Critical Heat Flux Condensation Over Finned Surfaces Effect of Surfaces on Boiling and Condensation Freezing and Melting IlL Measurement Techniques Flow Measurements Pressure-drop Measurements Density Measurements Property Measurements Void Measurements
IV. Instabilities, Transients and Stable Flow Thermal Hydraulic Experiments Accident Phenomena, Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), etc. Different Types of Instabilities (Pressure-Drop Type, Density-Wave Type, Thermal, Acoustic Oscillations, Hold-up, Geysering, etc.) V. Aerosol Science and Technology Aerosol Physics, Chemistry and Dynamics Aerosol Measurements Aerosol Generation and Nucleation Deposition and Erosion Vi. Contamination Analysis and Control Microcontamination in Industry Generation of Particulate Air Contaminants Measurement of Microcontaminants
Detection, Monitoring & Control Filtration Technology Surface Cleaning Technology Health Effects Biological Contaminants VII. Suspensions and Slurry Control Mechanics of Suspension, Clays, Colloids and Emulsions Effect of Particle Size on Fluid-Particle Behavior Sedimentation-theory and Analysis Slurry Transport Applications VIII. Fine Particle/Powder Science and Technology Particulate Flow Measurement and Analysis; Rheology of Clay Fluids Particle Mixing and Transportation Electric and Magnetic Separation Fluidized Beds Powder Science and Technology
