The Expanding Expression of Enhanced Heat and Mass Transfer, for “The Times They Are a-Changin' … …”

Abstract

Time, by its inherent definition, is dynamic. In its passage, everything transforms and changes. And just as our seasons transition and unfold new vistas (with hope, from winter to spring to summer; and with patient resilience from summer to autumn to winter), so does all else transforms in the temporal path of the cycle of life. Mr. Bob Dylan † has very eloquently given expression to change in a popular ballad when he sings, ".. . As the present now, Will later be past. .. .. . For the times they are a-changin'." Thus, what was past has also to give way to the now and new. And it is in this spirit that we celebrate the spring of 2014 and the 21 st year of publication of the Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer (vol. 21, no. 1) with a new design of its cover. It has its own lyrics for change, rendered in the images and masthead artwork, as well as the new print format. The old cover, or perhaps the original cover and its artwork has steadfastly served the Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer (JEHT) very well ever since the publication of its first issue in the late 1993. Much has changed and transformed since. In its journey of growth, it changed publishing stewardship between three different houses, of which its current publisher, Begell House, has significantly expanded its readership and submission outreach to all corners of our globe. The journal's inception goals of making it ".. .. .. the place to publish important papers on enhanced heat transfer, and to find the pulse of industrial application" (Webb, 1994) have not just been met to a large extent, but are also reflected in the growing impact that JEHT makes on the current scientific discourse and engineering practice (
