Special Memorial Journal Issue for Prof. Ivan Catton: Innovations and Advancements in Heat & Mass Transfer


The ASME Journal of Heat Transfer is currently accepting manuscripts for a special issue “Special Memorial Issue for Prof. Ivan Catton: Innovations and Advancements in Heat & Mass Transfer.” Authors who are interested in having their manuscripts included in the special issue, to be published in March 2023, should submit their manuscripts by July 1, 2022.
This special issue honors and celebrates the career of Prof. Ivan Catton, an internationally acclaimed expert in mass transfer, natural convection, forced convection, and nuclear heat transfer. Prof. Catton was a member of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), where he was appointed to the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS), the top advisory committee in the field. After the NRC, Prof. Catton turned his attention to aerospace engineering’s leading-edge cooling problems as well as research on the impact of laser weapons on space power cooling systems. Later, he ventured into the area of information processing using neural nets.
His foundational work formed the basis for optimization of heat sinks and heat exchangers. Prof. Catton was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Max Jakob Memorial Award for Heat Transfer, considered to be the highest international honor in the field of heat transfer.
Manuscripts to be included in the special issue should concentrate on a range of topics including diffusion; forced convection; natural convection; mixed convection; combined processes; nuclear thermohydraulic; and other industrial applications.
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the journal by July 1, 2022, via Journals Connect at journaltool.asme.org. Authors who have an account should log in and select “Submit Paper” at the bottom of the page. Authors without an account should select “Submissions” and follow the steps. At the Paper Submittal page, authors should select “ASME Journal of Heat Transfer” and then select the special issue “Special Memorial Issue for Prof. Ivan Catton: Innovations and Advancements in Heat & Mass Transfer.” Papers received after the deadline or papers not selected for inclusion in the special issue may be accepted for publication in a regular issue.
The guest editors for the special issue are Yogesh Jaluria, Rutgers University, USA, jaluria@soe.rutgers.edu; Yogendra Joshi, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, yogendra.joshi@me.gatech.edu; and Antonio Barletta, University of Bologna, Italy, antonio.barletta@unibo.it.
