Prof. John Thome, selected for the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award
Prof. John Thome
The Heat Transfer Memorial Award is bestowed on individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the field of heat transfer through teaching, research, practice and design, or a combination of such activities.
12.05.2010 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has selected Prof. John Thome (LTCM - Heat and Mass Transfer Laboratory) for the 2010 ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award "for major contributions to boiling and condensation heat transfer and two-phase flow, including the first analytical model for boiling of binary and multi-component mixtures; the first unified set of models for describing flow boiling, convective condensation and two-phase pressure drops based on flow patterns in macrochannels; and the first similar set of theoretical models for flow boiling, critical heat flux, etc. in microchannels". The award was presented at the International Heat Transfer Conference in Washington, DC in August.
