摘要

The 5th ASME Micro/Nanoscale Heat and Mass Transfer Conference (MNHMT 2016) was held in Singapore on Jan. 4-6,2016. The Conference was organized by the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Nanyang Technological University and sponsored by the ASME Heat Transfer Division, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology, Quantum Technology Group (Singapore) Pte.
