ICHMT provides a unique apolitical forum for the world's leading heat and mass transfer scientists and engineers. Our mission is to pursue excellence and foster the international exchange of science and engineering in all branches of heat and mass transfer through symposia, publications, and promotion of research, education and exchange of personnel for the benefit of people everywhere.

The Proceedings of the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer represent the publications of the Centre derived from International Seminars, International Schools, Symposia, Short Courses and Forums. These meetings represent an extensive achievement, on an international scale, of the Centre and its mission. Covering all branches of heat and mass transfer, the Proceedings show the pursuit of excellence and the fostering of international cooperation. The coverage of the Proceedings extends from the basic fundamentals to the forefront research in the field of thermofluid engineering, in both industrial and academic, as well as computational fields.

Begell House Publishers, Inc. developed and maintains the ICHMT Digital Library. Begell House, since 1994, has been the official publishing arm of ICHMT, and continues to this day.
