The role of heat and mass transfer in modern engineering applications and industrial processes is quite significant. Cutting-edge research in thermal management, additive manufacturing, green buildings, and micro and nano-scale transport phenomena in biological systems are becoming popular along with traditional fields such as power plants, internal combustion engines, refrigeration and air conditioning. Over the world, intensive research is in progress on all aspects of fluid flow and heat transfer using theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches. The goal of this conference is to gather scholars from all over the world to present advances in the fields of transport phenomena and to foster an environment conducive to exchanging ideas and information. This conference will also provide an ideal environment to develop new collaborations on the fundamentals, applications, and products of the mentioned fields. This conference includes invited keynote talks by distinguished experts from industry and academia (across the globe) and many parallel technical sessions spread over four days. This would serve as a platform for young researchers to interact with academic experts and get motivated further to produce high quality research. This edition of the conference will be jointly hosted by IIT Patna and BIT Patna during the period of 14th-17th December, 2023. It will bring together the scientific minds in the area of heat and mass transfer from all corners of the country and the world.

Venue for the Pre-Conference Course: IIT Patna
The Indian Society for Heat and Mass Transfer (ISHMT) has been acting as a nodal agency in India stimulating researchers engaged in various areas of heat and mass transfer and bringing them together for fruitful interaction and exchange of ideas. The ISHMT organized the first National Heat and Mass Transfer Conference at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 1971. Subsequently, the conference has been held once every two years at different places across the country. In these conferences, many well-known experts from abroad participated, exchanged technical information, and shared their expertise with the Indian researchers. To foster more significant interaction with the researchers from overseas, ISHMT has started collaborating with other premier professional societies. During the period of 1994-2013, ISHMT and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) had jointly organized this conference. After that, ISHMT and American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE) are jointly organizing this conference.
Indian Institute of Technology Patna (abbreviated IIT Patna or IITP) is a public technical university located in Patna, Bihar, India. It is recognized as an Institute of National
Importance by the Government of India. It is one of the new IITs established by an Act of the Indian Parliament on August 6, 2008.
IIT Patna's campus is located at Amhara, Bihta, 35 km from Patna at a 501 acres (203 ha) site. IIT Patna has ten departments: Computer Science & Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,
Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Humanities, & Social Science departments. The Department of Mechanical Engineering
came into being in the year 2008, i.e., the year of inception of IIT Patna. The department at present offers Bachelor of Technology degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Master of Technology degrees in Thermal and Fluids, Manufacturing,
and Mechatronics, and Ph.D. degrees. The Department currently has 22 faculty members who perform state-of-the-art research in diverse areas of mechanical engineering stream.
Patna, formerly known as Patliputra, has been a center of knowledge for a long time and has been attracting visitors and scholars from many parts of the world, such as China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, among others.
This has been a land of visionaries. Some of the legends from this region include Lord Gautam Buddha, Lord Mahavir, Guru Gobind Singh, the famous astronomer, Aryabhatta, and the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad.
