1. Introduction

Heat transfer continues to be a major .eld of interest to engineering and scienti.c researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. The wealth of applications includes a wide variety of components and systems for energy devices, including general power systems, heat exchangers, high performance gas turbines and other power conversion devices. Other areas of interest include chemical processing, general manufacturing, bio-heat transfer, electronic cooling, comfort heating and cooling, and a number of natural phenomena from upwelling currents in the oceans to heat transport in stellar atmospheres.

The present review is intended to encompass the English language heat transfer papers published in 2000. While being exhaustive, some selection is necessary. Many papers reviewed herein relate to the science of heat transfer, including numerical, analytical and experimental works. Others relate to applications where heat transfer plays a major role in not only virtually all man-made devices, but natural systems as well. The papers are grouped into categories and then into sub- .elds within these categories. We restrict ourselves to papers published in reviewed archival journals. Besides reviewing the journal articles in the body of this paper, we also mention important conferences and meetings on heat transfer and related .elds, major awards presented in 2000, and books on heat transfer published during the year.
