Important Notes

Extended abstract submission is required for presentation
It is the requirement for those who will make a presentation at PRTEC2019 to submit his/her extended abstract by the deadline. The submitted extended abstract will be used for peer-review by the scientific committee, based on which the final acceptance for presentation will be judged.
One registration is necessary for one paper presentation
One registration is required per one talk presentation at the PRTEC2019 meeting.

Scope

The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) had co-developed a successful series of joint conferences on thermal engineering (AJTEC) at four-year intervals. The AJTEC series were held in: Honolulu, Hawaii (1983 and 1987); Reno, Nevada (1991); Maui, Hawaii (1995); San Diego, California (1999); Hawaii Island, Hawaii (2003); Vancouver, Canada (2007); and Honolulu, Hawaii (2011).

JSME, the Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers (KSME) and the American Society of Thermal and Fluids Engineers (ASTFE) have launched a new conference series, Pacific Rim Thermal Engineering Conference (PRTEC) in Hawaii Island, Hawaii (2016) as a successive conference of AJTEC. The key themes of the PRTEC series are "Fundamental", "Interdisciplinary" and "Diversity" with a vision for the future of Thermal Engineering.

The second conference of the PRTEC series (PRTEC2019) will be held in Maui Island, Hawaii. PRTEC2019 provides an international forum for the exchange of new ideas and direction related to the future thermal engineering and the presentation of the latest work in this field. We strongly encourage attendance and extended abstract submission not only from the Pacific-rim countries but also from all over the world.
