De-Yi Shang, has a doctorate from Tsinghua University, and was a Professor at Northeastern University, China. An active scientist in the area of heat and mass transfer, he now resides in Canada. He proposed an innovative method of similarity transformation of velocity fields on laminar boundary layers. As a better alternative approach to Falkner-Skan transformation, this method has successfully been applied for in-depth studies on convection heat and mass transfer of actual fluids. He also developed a novel model of the temperature-dependent physical properties of gases and liquids, which ensures the practical value of theoretical research on convective heat and mass transfer. He developed the weighted model of concentration- and temperature-dependent physical properties of vapor-gas mixture. He is author of four Springer scientific monographs and of numerous journal papers on the theory and practical application of heat and mass transfer. In 1994, he won the Chinese EducationCommissio’s scientific progress prize. In 1996, he was awarded scientific grants by the Norwegian Research Council as outstanding foreign scientist with proven international reputation. In 2015, he was appointed a lead guest editor of the Science Publishing Group (New York, USA) responsible for Special Issues on Convection Heat and Mass Transfer. Dr. Liang-Cai Zhong is a Professor at Northeastern University, China. In 1993 he worked as a visiting scientist for research on convection heat transfer at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. In 2002, he was a visiting scientist at Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. In 2003 he was appointed as Associate Professor of Northeastern University, China, in 2004 was awarded a Ph.D degree of Northeastern University, China, and in 2008 became Professor. During this time he carried out scientific investigations on convection heat and mass transfer, process modeling and optimization in ferrous metallurgy, especially in hot metal treatment, converter steelmaking, secondary refining and continuous casting. He has hosted and participated in 5 state-level projects and 50 scientific research projects from major and medium-sized iron and steel companies. He has published more than 60 papers in national and international academic journals, including 40 papers cited by SCI and EI. He has also published five academic books. He has received four scientific and technological progress awards at  provincial and ministerial levels.
