 ical lecture\n\nIndustry Sector: Cross-sector\n\nSpeak Details: \n\nDescri
 ption : \n\nThermal sciences and engineering is nowadays an established fi
 eld in Brazil. Given that the first graduate engineering program in the co
 untry only dates back to early 60&rsquo\;s\, this collaborative scientific
  and technological development has been significantly accelerated by moder
 n computer simulation tools. These include hybrid numerical-analytical met
 hodologies that have been advanced for more than thirty years within the F
 ederal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). In this talk\, a unified integ
 ral transforms solution methodology\, known as the Generalized Integral Tr
 ansform Technique (GITT)\, is reviewed in the computational-analytical han
 dling of nonlinear diffusion and convection-diffusion problems\, aided by 
 symbolic-numerical computation platforms. The hybrid approach is here illu
 strated for problems associated with nuclear energy\, space and aeronautic
 al technologies\, such as the design of ultracentrifuges for uranium enric
 hment\, the development of thermal protection systems for atmospheric re-e
 ntry space vehicles\, and analysis of anti-icing thermal control systems f
 or aeronautical sensors and structures. \n&nbsp\;\nSpeaker(s)&nbsp\;\nRena
 to Machado Cotta studied in Brazil before obtaining his Ph.D. in Mechanica
 l &amp\; Aerospace Engineering from North Carolina State University\, USA.
  Author of 500 papers and 9 books Renato has held numerous positions on te
 chnical boards such as President of Brazilian Association of Mechanical En
 gineering and Sciences (ABCM) and of the National Commission of Nuclear En
 ergy (CNEN)\, the regulatory body and science promoter of nuclear energy i
 n Brazil. He is a Professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (U
 FRJ) and Senior Counselor for the Directorate General of Nuclear and Techn
 ology Development (DGDNTM\, Brazilian Navy). He is a member of the Brazili
 an Academy of Sciences (ABC) and the World Academy of Sciences (TWAS).\n\n
