Heat Transfer and Cooling Systems for Aerospace Equipment

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue on “heat transfer and cooling systems for aerospace equipment”, we welcome review articles and original fundamental, applied, theoretical, numerical or experimental research on the topic of the thermal control of equipment and internal environments of spacecraft, satellites, space laboratories such as space stations and fixed bases on other celestial bodies. Studies should be focused on systems that use a thermofluid. Potential topics include, but are not limited to: the improved performance of cooling systems already used in space, such as heat pipes; new thermofluids and cooling tools applied in space; proposals for the use of materials that have a smaller environmental impact; studies on the behavior of thermofluids in microgravity environments and/or with large thermal amplitudes; the combination of different cooling methods applied in a space environment; the transport and wettability of fluids under microgravity with the potential for space applications; and harnessing extraplanetary resources in cooling systems.

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. Aerospace 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.
