23rd European Conference on Thermophysical Properties
This European Conference on Thermophysical Properties is the 23rd edition of a series of very successful conferences on Thermophysical Properties held in Europe since 1968.
The history of the first 50 years of ECTP is presented in a paper by M.J. Assael, F. Righini, and K.D. Maglic, “European Conference on Thermophysical Properties: The First 50 Years (1968 – 2018)”, Int J Thermophys 39, 25 (2018). The previous editions of ECTP are listed at the following link.
The 23rd ECTP is organized by the Reactions and Chemical Engineering Laboratory (LRGP), located in Nancy (France), and will take place in the Castle Serge Kampf Les Fontaines in Gouvieux (France).
Conference goals
The objective of ECTP is to provide a forum for academic and industrial researchers to meet and exchange valuable experiences in the field of thermophysical properties for a wide variety of systems covering fluids and solids. The conference will concentrate mainly on the measurement, theoretical modeling and numerical simulation of the following properties and materials.
