Modeling and Optimization for Multi-Scale Integration

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, titled "Modeling and Optimization for Multi-Scale Integration", focuses on the forefront of chemical engineering, exploring the combination of multi-scale process modeling and optimization strategies. This Special Issue presents new modeling techniques that span molecular dynamics to macro systems, revealing complex interactions between different scales. These models enhance our understanding and aid practical decision making for process optimization, which is particularly important in the context of the ongoing shift toward cleaner energy sources.

Covering a range of topics from reaction engineering and fluid dynamics to heat transfer and materials synthesis, this Special Issue includes a diverse array of subjects. Advanced computational methods, innovative data collection approaches, and optimization techniques play a central role. The primary goal is to accelerate the development of sustainable processes in sectors undergoing energy transition, such as renewable energy, energy storage, and emissions reduction.

As Guest Editors, we welcome submissions of original research, informative reviews, and insightful case studies from both academia and industry. By combining pioneering ideas, we open up new pathways in multi-scale integration. This Special Issue serves as a platform for promoting optimized processes that align with environmental goals, reshaping the landscape of chemical engineering and contributing to a more environmentally friendly future. 

Dr. Marco Vaccari
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
