EDITORIAL SPECIAL ISSUE—8TH UK NATIONAL HEAT TRANSFER CONFERENCE Oxford, UK, 9–10 September 2003 The UK National Committee for Heat Transfer runs the UK National Heat Transfer Conference every two years, in the gaps between the International Heat Transfer Conferences and the European Thermal Sciences Conferences. UKHT2003 was held in Oxford. Thanks to very generous sponsorship by British Airways, additional financial support from Begell House Inc., Elsevier Science, HTFS and Oxford Lasers, and help in kind from HEXAG, HTRI, The Heat Transfer Society, IChemE and IMechE, the organizers were able to reduce the fees substantially, particularly for graduate students. This resulted in an increase in attendance to 123, including 40 graduate students. The organizers were particularly pleased to welcome 24 international visitors, including graduate students. The UK Conferences are intended to provide opportunities for informal discussion and the presentation of work in progress, as well as reports of completed projects. At this Conference, there were 3 Keynote Papers, by Professors David Butterworth, Terry Jones (given on his behalf by Dr Peter Ireland) and John Rose, and 90 technical papers for brief oral presentation followed by poster sessions. HTFS gave a prize for the best presentation by a graduate student co-author, judged on the quality of the presentation, poster and paper and the contribution by the student to the work. After difficult deliberation, the prize was awarded jointly to two presentations:
The following presentations were highly commended: The Effect of Combined Radiation and Convection on Hot Dip Galvanizing Kettle Wear, S.G. Blakey and S.B.M. Beck, University of Sheffield, UK. Experimental Studies of Heat Transfer in a Tube Bundle Model, T.H. Choudhury, L. Liu, N.K. Duggan, B. Hu, S.M. Richardson and G.F. Hewitt, Imperial College, UK. A Dataset of Steam Condensation Over a Double Enhanced Tube Bundle under Vacuum, T.H. Ooi, D.R. Webb and P.J. Heggs, UMIST, UK. The winning posters and presentations, together with listings of all the papers presented at the Conference may be viewed at www.heat-transfer.org.uk=UKHT2003. Presentation did not count as formal publication as there were no published Proceedings. Authors of papers describing work that had reached a suitable stage for archival publication were invited to submit their papers for consideration for inclusion in special issues of Applied Thermal Engineering, Chemical Engineering Research and Design and Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science. These papers were subjected to the normal reviewing procedure and in most cases the accepted papers were substantially changed from the versions presented at the Conference. This issue of Chemical Engineering Research and Design contains the Keynote Lecture by Professor Rose and six of the papers on condensation, boiling and evaporation. The venue and arrangements for the 9th UK National Heat Transfer Conference in 2005 will be publicized shortly on www.heat-transfer.org.uk David Kenning University of Oxford, UK Subject Editor—Heat and Mass Transfer
Flow Boiling Heat Transfer in a 3-Phase Circulating Fluidized Bed (Self Cleaning Heat Exchanger), M. Arumemi-Ikhide, K. Sefiane and D. Glass, University of Edinburgh, UK. Measurement and Interpretation of the Heat Transfer Coefficients of Metal Foams, A.J. Fuller, T. Kim, H.P. Hodson and T.J. Lu, University of Cambridge, UK.
