ECOS is where engineers/scientists meet yearly to discuss developments in the general field of energy. Starting with precise education in thermodynamics and its application to all forms of energy conversion, exergy, thermoeconomics, energy harvesting and bringing to life new energy systems have been the primary reason this conference has been going on for 28 years in all parts of the world but primarily in Europe. The initial intent was to bring together the European scholars with those from other lands, particularly North America. For twenty seven years, this has been accomplished and a healthy conference has been held every year. Topics: 1. Fundamental & applied thermodynamics 2. Heat & mass transfer, fluid dynamics 3. Exergy analysis & Second Law analysis 4. Exergy and Raw Materials 5. Process integration, simulation & optimization of energy systems 6. Thermoeconomic analysis & optimization 7. Biomass / biofuels, biorefinery concepts, waste-to-energy 8. Nonbiomass renewable energy: solar, wind, water, others & hydropower 9. Fossil energy: coal, oil, natural gas 10. Nuclear power 11. Chemical reactions & reaction engineering 12. Engines, furnaces & boilers, combustion/gasification 13. Cogeneration and waste energy recovery 14. Energy conversion, storage and transport 15. Buildings, urban & distributed energy systems 16. Refrigeration & air conditioning, Heat pumps 17. Fuel cells 18. System operation, control, diagnostics & prognosis 19. Carbon dioxide capture, utilization & storage 20. Energy & water interactions, use of water resources 21. Industrial production, sustainability & use of resources 22. Energy policy & planning 23. Energy systems: social, environmental & sustainability issues 24. Life Cycle Assessment, industrial ecology, environmental impact of energy systems 25.
