Prof. Wen delivered a plenary lecture at the 10th International Symposium on Heat Transfer (ISHT-10), 3-6 July, 2024 in Beijing. Prof. Wen presented a talk titled “Multiscale flow and heat transfer across interfaces”, where he presented our recent multiscale experimental and numerical progress in phase change heat transfer, from kinetic controlled to heat transfer controlled icing process, evaporation and icing of droplet at low pressure, to light induced phase change phenomena etc. ISHT series started in 1985 and is the first international conference in thermal science in China, initiated by the Prof. Buxuan WANG, Professor Wen’s then supervisor in Tsinghua University.
Prof. Wen attended the 2nd World Academician’s Forum on Advanced Science and Technology, Suzhou/Nanjing, 9-12 July, where he presented a keynote talk on hydrogen technology, from production, storage to applications, Chaired the session of Renewable Energy and participated panel discussions.
During the trip, Prof. Wen had meetings with the Vice President of Tsinghua University, Prof. Peixue JIANG, the President of Beihang University, Prof. Yunpeng WANG, and the President of Nanjing University, Prof. Tieniu TAN, as well as many distinguished scholars in the thermodynamic area to initiate and develop research collaborations. He also received the title of ‘Distinguished Guest Professor’ of Nanjing University.
