Report on Plenary Panel
“The Role of Thermal Science in Meeting Societal Challenges”
at the 15th International Heat Transfer Conference (IHTC-15)
Preface
This record of the plenary panel session is a lasting legacy that the late Professor Nobuhide Kasagi has given us. After completing this panel session on August 14, 2014, he received continuous medical treatment, and passed away on July 29, 2015. Also, I would like to add that he spent several months thoughtfully preparing it with Professors Yildiz Bayazitoglu, Yogesh Jaluria, Joon Sik Lee, Dimos Poulikakos and Peter Stephan.
Professor Kazuya Tatsumi, who served as assistant at the panel session, has devoted extraordinary efforts to editing the panel session, through lengthy discussions with Professor Hiroshi Iwai and me.
I am very grateful to these Professors, and to all the Panelists and Attendees, whose outstanding contributions made IHTC-15 a great success.
