Heat mass topic of conference
By
TOM METCALFE
What do a thunderstorm, a drying brick, a refrigerator, grading apples, and the airflow through a stack of timber have in common? They all involve the transfer of heat or mass, or both, and are all on the list of subjects to be discussed at a conference in Christchurch in May. One of the organisers, Dr David Evans, said that the conference was to bring together ideas which were related, even if at first they seemed dissimilar. The conference would be an opportunity for
people from 18 different scientific fields to gain insight into the ways other people solved scientific problems, which might be related to their own. About 70 scientists from New Zealand, Australia, Britain, Japan and the United States would attend the conference. It will be held from May 9 to 12, at the University of Canterbury Engineering School. The conference is held in Australia or New Zealand every four years. This will be the fourth time it has been held and its first time in Christchurch.
