The deadline of abstract submission has been extended to 9/30.

Message from The Organizers


As the organizers of the 2016 International Symposium on Transport Phenomena and Applications (STPA) & the 5th Forum on Transport Phenomena Education held at National Central University, Taiwan R.O.C. on November 26, 2016, we would like to express our gratitude for this great honor to keep up the tradition of giving everyone a memorable and fun conference experience at the STPA.  This year, the STPA will be going hand-in-hand with the 2016 Taiwan/Korea Joint Meeting on Chemical Engineering held from November 25 and 26, 2016.  Many renowned scholars from Korea, Japan and France have already been invited to participate this significant academic event.  All sections will be conducted in English.
 

Due to the ubiquity of solution crystallization from biotechnology to energy, the theme of this year STPA will focus on solution crystallization from macro- to micro-scale.  At the education forum, we will discuss of how Transport Phenomena is related to other disciplines and it is taught to kids, non-engineers and the public.
 
Transport Phenomena is an important core subject.  Every chemical engineering student has to learn Transport Phenomena.  However, they are unfamiliar with it before they go to college.  To make the matter worse, a lot of equations in physics and mathematics must be solved first before its effect at work can be fully demonstrated.  This often gives students a misconception that this abstract subject is merely a mathematical exercise, and only useful in petrochemical industry.
 
Realizing the urge of having an open communication channel among students, professors, researchers, industry and the general public on this elusive subject, Professor Wei-Ming Lu from National Taiwan University had mustered the Departments of Chemical Engineering in National Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, National Tsing Hua University, and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, and called forth the 1st Symposium on Transport Phenomena and Applications (STPA) in 1979 in Taiwan, R.O.C.  The invitation of this annual meeting was further extended to students and scholars in Japan and Singapore in 1981.  The growth of Taiwan STPA did not just stop there.  It had further evolved into an academic exchange platform for students and scholars worldwide since the year of 2000 under the trend of globalization and the leadership of Professor Duu-Jong Lee from National Taiwan University.
 
Over all these years, the STPA has constantly received the financial support from the Ministry of Science and Technology in Taiwan R.O.C., and won the strong support from the experts in the arena of chemical engineering, biomedicine, pharmaceutical engineering, mechanical engineering, environmental engineering, and energy.  Therefore, a large attendance and more than 100 papers and posters are expected annually at the STPA.
 
We are extremely grateful for your contributions as participants in the past.  It is the expertise and passion of you in Transport Phenomena that makes it possible for STPA to maintain the excellence of its quality, which is advancing Transport Phenomena and the growth of related fields.
 
Please come join us and experience the Taiwanese culture.  We are looking forward to seeing you at the 2016 International Symposium on Transport Phenomena and Applications and the 5th Forum on Transport Phenomena Education in National Central University, Taiwan R.O.C. on November 26, 2016!

大會主席的話

「2016輸送現象及其應用國際研討會暨第5屆輸送現象教育研討會」將於2016年11月26日在國立中央大學舉行,作為本次國際研討會的主辦單位,我們深感榮幸並期許能保持優良的傳統,在本次的輸送現象國際研討會帶給大家一個生動且難以忘懷的經驗。欣逢台灣化學工程學會創立六十三週年,將於11月25日至11月26日在國立中央大學盛大舉行「台灣化學工程學會63週年年會」與「2016台韓化工會議」,今年輸送現象國際研討會將與年會相結合,邀請韓國、日本及法國多國著名專家學者一同參與本次重要的會議,所有議程將用英文進行。
 
由於溶液結晶操作被廣泛應用於許多領域,從生物科技至能源技術等,今年的輸送現象國際研討議將就輸送現象在溶液結晶行為上從巨觀至微觀尺度下作一探討。此外,我們將規劃專門的場次討論「輸送現象教育論壇」,探討輸送現象如何與其他學科做為連結及教導那些不具有工程專業的小孩和大眾關於輸送現象。
 
輸送現象不僅是工程科學的重點,更是化學工程科學的核心,每位就讀化工系的學生都必須修讀「輸送現象」這門課;然而,大部分的學生就讀大學之前對於輸送現象是很陌生的,更糟糕的是:學生們在尚未全面了解輸送現象對於各個領域的影響之前,就先被要求解答許多物理及數學的方程式,而這通常會帶給學生們一個錯誤的觀念,認為輸送現象僅是一門數學演練課程且只能應用於石化工業。
 
為促進國內從事輸送現象相關研究或工作同仁的互動,提供發表研究成果心得及互相認識交流的平台,早在1979年,臺大、成大、清大及工技學院(現台灣科技大學)等單位,即共同發起舉辦輸送現象及其應用專題研討會,由臺大化工系呂維明教授統籌,自第三屆起,於研討會籌劃時,即陸續邀請國際人士參與,而後也有他國學者(如日本、新加坡等)組團參加,共襄勝舉。自2000年起由臺大化工系李篤中教授承接,有鑑於學術國際交流的重要性,輸送現象研討會自許朝這個方向推動,致力將交流對象由國內人士推廣至國際學者。
 
多年來,輸送現象研討會一直獲得國科會(現科技部)工程研究中心的熱烈支持,也受到國內化工、生醫、製藥、機械、環工、能源等各方面研究人員的肯定,因此,每年的論文數達百餘篇,參與的人數逾二百人。
 
我們十分感激過去多年來你們的參與及貢獻,對於輸送現象具有專業與熱情的你,讓我們一起發揮最大所能,維持優良的品質和推廣輸送現象及其應用的成長。
 
請一同加入我們並體驗臺灣文化,我們期待與你在2016年11月26日在國立中央大學舉行的「2016輸送現象及其應用國際研討會暨第5屆輸送現象教育研討會」相見!
