This guide has been prepared for authors of abstracts of papers to be presented at the ICHMT International Symposium on “Transient Convective Heat and Mass Transfer in Single and Two-Phase Flows” to be held in Cesme, Turkey, on 17-22 August, 2003. It provides rules for the preparation of the extended abstracts that will be distributed to participants at registration, and has been written in accordance with these requirements (except for its length). Authors are requested to follow these guidelines to achieve uniformity in the presentation of the Book of Abstracts.

ABSTRACT PREPARATION

Use only one side of A4 size (210 x 297 mm) or quarto (81/2 by 11 inch) good quality white bond paper. The text should be single-spaced. If superscripts or subscripts make this a problem, wider spacing may be necessary. Leave double spaces between paragraphs. Begin paragraphs flush at the left margin without indentation. The typing area of all pages should not exceed 170 x 247 mm, whichever size of paper is used, with equal margins on left and right. Each page should be completely filled with typing and/or diagrams (except perhaps the last page). The total length of an abstract, including all figures, tables and references if any, should be at least two pages and not more than three pages.

References should be numbered consecutively in the order they are mentioned¹, using superscripted^2-3 Arabic numerals⁴.

Do not type page numbers. Lightly write the page number and the first author's name at the bottom of each page, using a light blue pencil.

Special instructions for using a computer or word processor

Authors should use Times or Times New Roman, 12-point character size for the text. A laser printer must be used for preparation of the manuscript. A dot matrix printer is not acceptable. The printer should have a typeface that features descenders below the baseline. The text should be left and right justified.

Layout of the abstract

The layout of the abstract should follow the style of this document, starting with a title, name(s) of author(s) and affiliation(s). The title should appear 32 mm below the top edge of the page. It should be brief, clear and descriptive. Use all bold capital letters (except if formulae or symbols appear in the title), centered on the width of the typing area. Leave one blank line after the title and another after the affiliation(s).

If your abstract is divided into sections and subsections, please use the format adopted here, in which first-level headings are in bold capitals, centered on the line, and second level headings are in bold lower case (initial capital), left aligned.

Non-English speaking authors

Authors from non-English speaking countries are requested to find persons who are competent in English and familiar with the scientific language who can edit their abstracts and manuscripts before submission. As there is no copy editing stage for camera-ready manuscripts, it is the responsibility of authors to ensure that the presentation of their papers reaches the same high level as that of the work they describe.

CONCLUSION

Please send your extended abstract, as MS Word document attached to email (or on a diskette) and a paper copy, to
