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

The ASME Journal of Heat Transfer is currently accepting manuscripts for a special issue “Prof. Raymond Viskanta Memorial Issue: Innovations and Advancements in Heat & Mass Transfer.” Authors who are interested in having their manuscripts included in the special issue, to be published in April 2023, should submit their manuscripts by August 1, 2022.
 
This special issue commemorates Prof. Raymond Viskanta, a preeminent authority on thermal radiation engineering. He contributed extensively to mass transfer, radiative heat transfer, and convective-radiative situations that arise in many industrial applications. His primary contributions were in natural convection, forced convection, radiation heat transfer in melting and solidification, heat transfer in porous media, buoyancy-driven systems, and combustion systems.

Viskanta attained international recognition for his work in heat transfer, which was noted not just for its exceptional quality, but also for its prodigious breadth. He was also the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including the U.S. Senior Scientist Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundations. In 1987, he was elected as a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, and in 1990, he was elected as a foreign member of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences.

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; radiation; and other industrial applications.
 
Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the journal by August 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 “Prof. Raymond Viskanta Memorial Issue: 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 Laurent Pilon, University of California, Los Angeles, USA, pilon@seas.ucla.edu; Andrei G. Federov, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, andrei.fedorov@me.gatech.edu; Abdulmajeed A. Mohamad, University of Calgary, Canada, mohamad@ucalgary.ca; and Xianfan Xu, Purdue University, USA, xxu@purdue.edu.
