This Best Papers Award category was established in memory of Donald M. Ernst by his friends and colleagues to honor his achievements in the fields of Heat Pipe research, product development and commercialization. It was given for the first time at the 16th IHPC in Lyon. The selection will be done by the International Heat Pipe Conference Committee from amongst the papers presented during the conference. The award includes a cash prize and a certificate.
The award is given in two categories: (i) for fundamental research and (ii) for technical/technology applications.
