A Lifetime of Path-breaking Scholarship That Spans Gas-Turbine Cooling to Transport Processes and Critical Diagnostic Tools for Convective Heat Transfer and More

Abstract Professor Richard J. Goldstein was perhaps one of the "tallest" colleagues in our field with a career spanning over seven decades, and during which he contributed extensively to a gamut of heat and mass transfer topics and his work has impacted nearly all areas of thermal science. He was a pioneering innovator and his scholarship influenced the way scientists and engineers solve the world's contemporary engineering and technological challenges. This has been particularly evident in thermal science frontiers relating to novel diagnostics in temperature measurements, cooling technologies for high-performance gas turbines, innovative evaluation techniques for thermal convection, and visionary leadership on the global stage in energy engineering.
