Minsk International Seminar “Heat Pipes, Heat Pumps, Refrigerators, Power Sources” (up to 2005 – “Heat Pipes, Heat Pumps, Refrigerators”) is a traditional event provided by the A.V. Luikov Heat and Mass Transfer Institute and CIS Scientific Association “Heat Pipes”.
The number of investigations of heat transfer problems increases manyfold from year to year. Traditionally heat pipes remain an effective heat transfer device capable of being used in the widest range of applications, from mobile to space systems. New ideas and constructions greatly need to be considered and approved. Contemporary energetic demands force heat pumps and refrigerators to use apply high-end technologies. New power sources require more and more attention as regards the problem of environment protection. The Conference presents an opportunity for meeting and discussions in the field of interest for specialists from scientific centers all over the world. The Conference provides keynote lectures, oral and poster sessions, leaving time for in-depth discussions in an informal atmosphere.
