The objective of this conference is to bring together researchers 
engaged in the application of experimental, analytical or computational 
heat and mass transfer, fluid flow and thermophysical properties.

 

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA

The University of Pretoria is the leading research university in South 
Africa and one of the largest in the country. In 2006, student numbers 
totalled 49 226 (38 389 contact and 10 837 distance). The University has 
six campuses and a number of other sites of operation such as the 
Pretoria Academic Hospital. Central administration is located at the 
Hatfield campus.

 

In 1996, the University of Pretoria became the university with the 
highest research output in South Africa and has since then maintained 
this status. The University is ranked as one of the top 500 universities 
in the world and is only one of four universities in South Africa to 
have achieved this distinction.

 

The University will celebrate its centenary in 2008.

 

The academic programmes of the University are offered in nine faculties 
and a business school. The following faculties comprise a total of 140 
departments and 85 centres, institutes and bureaus: Economic and 
Management Sciences <http://web.up.ac.za/default.asp?ipkCategoryID=40>, 
Education <http://web.up.ac.za/default.asp?ipkCategoryID=43>, 
Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology 
<http://web.up.ac.za/default.asp?ipkCategoryID=44>, Health Sciences 
<http://web.up.ac.za/default.asp?ipkCategoryID=45>, Humanities

UP is at the forefront of tertiary education in the country and we 
collaborate with world-class partners to ensure continued excellence in 
learning and teaching. The Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and 
Information Technology is the second-largest faculty with more than 
8 000 students. All the programmes in the School of Engineering are 
accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa and recognised for 
professional engineering registration through the Washington Accord by 
the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, USA, New 
Zealand, Australia and Hong Kong. The School produces approximately a 
third of the country's engineers and is according to ISI citations 
ranked in the top 1% of the world.
