Advances, Intensification, and Emerging Technologies in Fluid Flow and Transfer Processes

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to novel solutions in the fluid flow and mass transfer processes. The application of mass transfer modeling and measurement technologies in both turbulent and laminar flows has a vast potential for the development of new industrial processes. Especially, the understanding of the industrial-scale multiphase process from lab to large scale needs efficient modeling and experimental methods to verify the design of the chemical processes and bioprocesses at hand.

The mass transfer depends on the flow velocity profiles of the fluid phases, the interfacial surface areas, and the chemistry of interface boundaries. The challenges are, for example, the chemical compositions of industrial streams, the small-scale particulate processes, the combination of electrochemistry and the novel energy forms (microwave, ultrasound) involved into flow processes, to name a few. In multiphase systems, several sub-processes are typically involved, because of the reasons mentioned here.

Complex fluids, from pastes to different aerosols and other dispersive systems, are commonly involved in the product manufacturing steps as well as in processes occurring in nature. The deeper understanding of mass transfer in those fluid flow systems is the subject of this Special Issue.

Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to bring new ideas from different branches of research to enhance the development of fluid flow and transfer processes.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. ChemEngineering 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 1800 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.
