Thermal Transport Processes (347324)

National Science Foundation (NSF)

Deadline: Rolling

Grant amount: Up to US $7,047,000

Funding uses: Research

Location of project: United States

Location of residency: United States

Overview:

NOTE: Proposals for this program will be accepted throughout the year.

The Thermal Transport Processes program is part of the Transport Phenomena cluster, which also includes

• the Combustion and Fire Systems program;
• the Fluid Dynamics program; and
• the Particulate and Multiphase Processes program.

TheThermal Transport Processes program supports engineering research projects that lay the foundation for new advances in thermal transport phenomena. These projects should either develop new fundamental knowledge or combine existing knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat and mass transfer to probe new areas of innovation in thermal transport processes. The program seeks transformative projects with the potential for improving basic understanding, predictability and application of thermal transport processes. Projects should articulate the contribution(s) to the fundamental knowledge supporting thermal transport processes and state clearly the potential application(s) impact when appropriate.Projects that combine analytical, experimental and numerical efforts, geared toward understanding, modeling and predicting thermal phenomena, are of great interest.Collaborative and interdisciplinary proposals for which the main contribution is in thermal transport fundamentals are also encouraged. Emphasis is placed on research that demonstrates how thermal transport phenomena affect the existence, behavior and dynamics of components and systems.
