Welcome to the 34th International Symposium on Transport Phenomena (ISTP-34).

Transport phenomena, including the heat and mass transfer and fluid flow which can be found in the various kind of science and engineering fields.It covers from nanoscale to macroscale, from single-phase to multiphase, from non-reactive to reacting flows,and for applications from on the ground to in space.Further improvement of conventional technologies or development of breakthrough new technologies is highly demanded under the global slogan of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

International Symposium on Transport Phenomena is a series of meetings sponsoredby the Pacific Center of Thermal-Fluids Engineering (https://www.pctfe.org/istp).The previous ISTP meetings have been held in various countries in the past thirty-four years from the first ISTP in 1985 to the 30th ISTP in 2019.The ISTP-31 and ISTP-32 in 2020 and 2022, were conducted by a way of virtual style (online symposium) due to COVID-19.The ISTP-33 came back to a face-to-face event again in Kumamoto after the COVID-19 pandemic in September 2023.

The ISTP-34 will be held on November 10-14, 2024 in the Taoyuan Convention and Exhibition Center, Taoyuan, Taiwan.It will provide an opportunity for researchers, scientists, engineers, and students from all over the world engaging in the studies of transport phenomena to get together and to stimulate each other.The organizing committee members are looking forward to seeing you in Taiwan at the ISTP-34, in September 2024.

Selected papers with high-quality from ISTP-34 proceedings will be further reviewed and published in special issues of the “Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer” and “Applied Thermal Engineering”.
