SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

Goals

The CHISA Congress with all its topics and specialised symposia supports the concept of sustainable development – a concept aimed at the future of mankind. Convinced that chemical engineering includes, masters and creates most of the tools that play a key role in realising this concept, chemical engineers try to find the specific and most effective ways to maximise this effort. This striving includes formulation of new targets of individual branches of chemical engineering science and practice, developing new methods for achieving them, dissemination of relevant information among specialists from Europe and the whole world and supporting young engineers in entering and understanding the profession.

 

Congress structure

Lecture and poster sessions

Eleven parallel lecture sections will take place at 8:30–12:40 and 14:00–18:00 based on 20 minutes rigid schedules. For keynote lectures 40 minutes are reserved. Poster sessions will take place the whole day from 9 to 17 h. However, authors must attend their posters during the coffee/poster breaks: 10:30– 11:00, and 15:20–16:20.

 

How to prepare the summary

Summary has to be prepared on sheet(s) of A4 size (297x210 mm) with all margins equal to 25 mm. The single spaced text should be typed in Times New Roman font with use of the MS-Word editor. Start at the top with the title of your contribution (non-capitalised, left aligned, bold, size 14 pts.). Skip two lines below title and type the author’s name(s); underline the author delivering the paper. On a new line, give the affiliation of each author with a sufficient postal address; telephone, fax, and e-mail connections are desirable (non-bold, left aligned, size 12 pts.). Then, skip two lines and begin your summary text (justified, size 12 pts.).

At least one full page is required, however, maximum two pages are allowed for the summary. You can locate any text, equations, figures, references, etc. within the area available (247x160 mm).

Please observe kindly the instructions.

An example of summary (PDF, 11kB; MS Word, 28kB)

Important: The author is responsible for the text of her/his summary and its appropriate graphical design. The summary that does not meet the above requirements will not be accepted and the author will be notified.

Final summary and full text

The final summary and full text have to be written in English and are requested from authors of all contributions (lectures and posters).

The deadline for submission of the final summary and full text is 31 May 2010. The final summary can be modified at any time by means of your user pages. Both the final summary and full text should be prepared according to the Instructions for authors, which can be found here

Please follow all instructions very carefully. Regrettably, many of the preliminary summaries have not complied with these instructions, therefore they had to be reedited. In these cases, the Editors have no responsibility for possible changes ensuing from such reformatting.

In case you wish to modify anything later, please DOWNLOAD AT FIRST your summary from the website (see List of papers) – because here is accessible the version already edited. In this way we shall avoid re-formatting the abstract again in order to be compatible with the rules.

Then, you can modify it and submit: for submission please access your user pages, in the menu select button “Inspecting submitted papers” and upload the final summary instead of the preliminary one. Resubmission will automatically notify the administrator of database about some change. This is also the easiest way how to announce correction of the title, authors, affiliations, etc. It is valid what is in summary.

The final summary must be received before 31 May 2010, however only in the case if it is different from the preliminary one.

The full text should also be interactively uploaded via user pages in a similar manner. Please observe kindly the instructions.
In case of difficulties contact paper@chisa.cz .

In all correspondence please always refer to the serial number assigned to your contribution.

In July, every author will receive an e-mail confirming location and timing of his paper in the Final Program.

 

Poster presentation

The majority of papers will be presented as posters and thus they are a very important part of the Congress program.
Scope. Try to arrange your poster in such a way to provide a clear comprehensible image of your work at first sight even for those participants who are not conversant in your special field of interest. Give preference to diagrams, pictures and charts. The text should be very concise and accentuate the particular aim of your work, its importance, application, and the key formulas and symbols. Leave details to the discussion with interested people and to the full text.
Form. The size of the poster board is 130 cm (height) by 96 cm (width). The presenters will mark their posters with a heading, containing the title (size of letters 4 cm, at least), and the name(s) of author(s), affiliation, city and country (size of letters 2 cm). Letters under 1 cm are not suitable. Posting only a printout of the full text does not do credit to the sense and purpose of poster session.
Presentation. The presenters will arrange their posters at designated panels before the beginning of the poster session and remove them immediately after the closure of the session. The presenters must attend their posters during the coffee break from 15:20 to 16:20 h.

 

Lecture presentation

Since the oral sessions are based on rigid time schedules, a regular lecture including discussion can last no longer than 20 minutes. Forty minutes are reserved for keynote lectures only.
Data projectors. Lecture rooms will be equipped with dataprojector/PC and CD-ROM drives, and with PowerPoint software (version 2003). We are not adapted for Macintosh software. A PC for checking the PowerPoint presentation beforehand will be available in the Congress Reading Room. A connection to Internet will not be available in the lecture rooms.
Oral presentation. The lectures should be presented in English. Kindly use short sentences, a slower pace of delivery and clear and distinct pronunciation. This concerns specifically those presenters who speak in their mother tongue (i.e. English).

 

Submission of additional papers

Additional papers are still being accepted, despite almost 2000 contributions were accepted for presentation. They will be included mostly as posters, however, significant lectures might also be considered. For submission, please use the application form. Authors will be notified about acceptance before end of April.

The Final Program will be displayed at this website in July. Only paper received before 31 May 2010 will be listed in the printed Final Program provided that paper is accepted and that presenting author had registered and paid the Congress fee. After this date further contributions (only as posters) will be accepted till the beginning of the Congress, however, they will not appear in the Congress summary sets, and will only be listed in supplementary sheets.

"List of additional papers", can be found here. The list is updated every 1–3 days.

Important note: only two applications for poster presentation are allowed for one registered participant due to time and space limitations. Without having selection by authors, the excessive posters will be removed from the program by decision of the Scientific Committee.

Sets of summaries with pre-prints on CD-ROM and publication Meet the Authors

Summaries will be clustered according to the thematic groups as six Sets numbered from 1 to 6. The Set 6 and another one selected are included in the Congress fee; selection must be specified in the registration form.

However, increasing requirement of operating chemical processes with minimum energy spent, maximising the product output and keeping within the ever stringent regulatory requirements mean that process engineers need to use their core knowledge of chemical engineering to get the maximum out of heat transfer processes when they directly impact chemical processing.

Objective:
The objective of the Workshop is bring to attention of engineers the benefits of getting involved in design of heat exchangers, their processing and simulating them rigorously along with other process plant equipment and to discuss new promising trends in the field.

Contents:
In addition to imparting background technology knowledge to the chemical engineers on design and simulation of heat exchangers, the Workshop will make use of case studies involving process and thermal equipment simulation. In this context a number of process heat transfer topics will be discussed, for example:

• Using high performance compact heat exchangers to advantage
• Enhanced, compact and ultra-compact heat exchangers
• Heat exchanger networks
• High temperature applications
• Manufacturing aspects
• Fouling issues
