The objectives of ExHFT-5 are to bring together again experimental researchers and those in industry who are active in the areas of thermal and fluid science and engineering, to exchange their expertise, experiences and insights in many research areas in a spirit of cooperation and friendship, and to further stimulate their research activities. All participants will have an opportunity to become informed on:

• advances in the understanding of basic phenomena of heat transfer and fluid flow through conventional and sophisticated experiments
• the state-of-the-art in experimental techniques and instrumentation
• innovative applications of research results in an interdisciplinary environment
• validity of experimental results in many fields
• definition and needs for further measurements
• experience gained and lessons learned from new measuring techniques and design of research facilities
