[Call for a paper]
Prof. Kwang W. Oh is
co-organizing a topic of "Energy and Power in Micro and Nano
Systems" in Micro and NanoSystems, ASME IMECE (International
Mechanical Engineering Congress & Exposition), Lake Buena Vista,
Florida, November 13 - 19, 2009.
The objective of this symposium is to advance the state of the
art in Microsystems and technologies for energy conversion,
storage, and management.
LIST OF TOPICAL AREAS
Original manuscripts are solicited in the following topics:
- Micro and nano technology for energy conversion
- Micro and nano technology for energy storage
- Micro and nano technology for energy management
- Applications of energy harvesting devices
Analytical, computational, and experimental approaches using
micro/nano- devices, or technology for energy
conversion/harvest, storage, and management are all welcome.
Examples of the devices include fuel cells, micro heat engine,
piezoelectric, thermo-acoustics, thermo-electric, photovoltaic
cells, nanostructured materials, biologically inspired
approaches, streaming potential, etc. Devices for
fuel-reforming, fuel storage, and energy management with the
integration to micro/nano device/technology are also of
interest.
Prospective authors should submit a 400-word abstract via the
web tool at the Congress 2009 website.
