scope:

The book aimes at bringing together the current knowledge of academicians, researchers and scholars from all over the world on all aspects of Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Thermal Engineering. In addition to the fundamentals of thermal phenomena and traditional thermal applications, the contributions also address the emerging domains of thermal transport in fishery, building nano-materials, bio-systems, microsystems, power generation, and energy conversion devices.

Review from Book News Inc.: IMAT was initiated in Southeast Asia, but organizers invite academicians, researchers, and scholars from around the world to share experiences and research results in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermal engineering. The 51 papers from the latest meeting cover fluid mechanics and machinery; refrigeration, air conditioning, and drying; heat transfer; combustion and engine systems; and fuel and energy. Among the topics are drag reduction of bamboo and abaca fiber suspensions in a circular pipe, the influence of temperature in wear resistance characteristics of palm fatty acid distillate, a solar air-conditioning system using single-double effect combined absorption chiller, the design of a four-stroke homogeneous charge compression ignition engine, and protecting the environmental and reducing fuel consumption  by using flameless combustion technology
