THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
The ASME-ATI-UIT 2015 Conference on Thermal Energy Systems: Production,
Storage, Utilization and the Environment will be held in Napoli (Italy) on May 17 – 20,
2015.
The web page of the Conference is available on http://www.asmeatiuit2015.com.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The ASME-ATI-UIT 2015 Conference on Thermal Energy Systems: Production, Storage,
Utilization and the Environment is organized under the auspices of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Associazione Termotecnica Italiana (ATI) and the Unione
Italiana di Termofluidodinamica (UIT) with the aim of providing technical information to their
members and to the scientific and industrial community at large. The International Centre for Heat
and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) is providing co-sponsorship.
Researchers from universities, research institutions and industries involved in the organization will
pursue the goal of providing a forum for the exposure and the exchange of technical information.
The Conference will give the opportunity to discuss the state of the art and to present experimental,
analytical and numerical results in Thermal Energy Systems: Production, Storage, Utilization and
the Environment.
The topics of the conference include but are not limited to:
• Overview of the global and regional energy scene
• Availability of energy resources
• Basic engineering thermal science
• Heat transfer in energetic and environmental systems
• Thermal fluid dynamics of single- and multi-phase systems
• Heat and mass transfer in porous media
• Micro- and nano- scale heat transfer
• Computational thermal-fluid dynamics
• Refrigeration and air-conditioning including advanced cycles and new refrigerants
• Heat exchangers and heat exchanger systems
• Solar energy including solar thermal and photovoltaic
• Wind and alternative energy systems
• Geothermal energy systems
• Combustion improvements and combustion of new fuels
• Heat transfer in fission and fusion nuclear facilities
• Material processing
• Energy conservation in buildings and the improvement of indoor air quality
• Power plants and equipment
• Nuclear power plants
• Turbomachinery
• Renewable energies
• Energy conversion
• Energy savings in transportation
• Waste heat recovery
• Cogeneration and combined heat and power
• Energy storage – from small to large scale - including hot and cold energy storage
• Measurement techniques
LOCATION
The conference will be held at Villa Doria D’Angri – Università degli studi Parthenope Napoli.
The Neoclassical Villa Doria D’Angri dates back to the early 19th century. Nestled in the tufa rock
it faces the wonderful Gulf of Napoli and offers a breath-taking view.
The architectural plan of Villa Doria d’Angri includes two floors on a high structural element at the
bottom with three tiers of arches and the exterior is decorated with rusticated stucco. The palace
boasts a large magnificent large terrace overlooking the sea and two side terraces and a portico with
four Ionic columns. Notable interior decorations were created by Guglielmo Bechi and a large
number of other artists. Most of them are still visible today on the walls and ceiling of the main hall:
Pompeian motifs, but also mirrors, tiles and stuccoes.
Napoli is the most accessible city of the South of Italy, well connected to Roma both by train (in a
little over hour) and plane from many European cities. The city was founded in the 6th century BC
and is the 3rd largest Italian city (after Roma and Milano), capital of the Campania region.
Spring is the ideal season to visit the city thanks to its mild temperature 22 to 26°C (72 - 79°F).
Nowadays Napoli can be defined as Italy's most vibrantly authentic city, a perfect mingling of
contemporary art scene, superb Renaissance and baroque churches, celebrated restaurants and
pizzerias, and finest custom tailors and artisans such as cameo carvers, coral workers, the finest
stucco dorés, and cake makers and a vibrant urban street life with noise and bustle.

IMPORTANT DATES
Abstracts in English should be submitted in pdf format by the extended deadline 20 November
2014 uploading them on the web site www.asmeatiuit2015.com. They should be no longer than 3
pages and contain information on research purpose, methodology, results and major conclusions.
One page should typically contain relevant graphs and figures. The submission template should be
downloaded from the conference website.
Authors will be notified by the extended deadline 20 December 2014 about the acceptance of
their paper by the Scientific Committee.
Final papers in English are due in pdf format by the extended deadline 20 February 2015. They
will be collated on a USB drive; printed books of the papers will also be available at an additional
cost. Authors of high quality papers will be invited to submit them for publication in a special issue
of the Applied Thermal Engineering journal.
A paper will not be included in the conference proceedings if the author does not register to the
conference before 10 April 2015.
PAPERS PRESENTATION
Papers will be presented either standing or poster. No differences between poster and oral
presentation as to the inclusion in the proceedings and the submission to the Applied Thermal
Engineering journal will be made.
