Bengt Sundén

Bengt Sundén received his M. Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in 1973, Ph. D. in Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics in 1979, and became Docent in Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics in 1980, all from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.

He was appointed Professor of Heat Transfer at Lund University, Lund, Sweden in 1992 and has served as Department Head of Energy Sciences, Lund University, Lund, Sweden since 1995. The research activities include compact heat exchangers, enhancement of heat transfer, gas turbine heat transfer, combustion-related heat transfer, CFD-methods for laminar and turbulent fluid flow and heat transfer, liquid crystal thermography, microscale heat transfer, transport phenomena in fuel cells, computational modeling and analysis of multiphysics and multiscale phenomena for fuel cells. Dr. Sundén established and was first editor-in-chief of IJHEX – International Journal of Heat Exchangers (R.T. Edwards Inc., USA) from 1999 to 2008, an associate editor of ASME J. Heat Transfer from 2005 to 2008, editor-in-chief of a Book Series – Developments in Heat Transfer (WIT Press, UK) since 1995. He has published about 500 papers in journals, books and proceedings. He has edited 24 books and authored three text books. He has supervised 170 M Sc theses, 40 Licentiate of Engineering theses, 34 PhD-theses. He is a Fellow of ASME, Honorary Professor of Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, a regional editor Journal of Enhanced Heat Transfer since 2007, an associate editor of Heat Transfer Research since 2011, and an associate editor of ASME J. Thermal Science, Engineering and Applications from 2010 to 2013. He was a recipient of the ASME Heat Transfer Memorial Award in 2011.
