Energy Efficiency of Thermo-Fluid Systems: Latest Advances and Prospects

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect research articles on improving the energy efficiency of thermo-fluid systems. One of the main focuses will be the impact of manufacturing processes on the energy efficiency of thermal systems, which is crucial for sustainable development and achieving global climate goals. For instance, additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, can significantly impact the energy efficiency of thermo-fluid systems by enabling the production of complex geometries and structures that were previously impossible to manufacture with traditional methods. Additive manufacturing can facilitate the design of heat exchangers with optimized internal geometries, such as microchannels, fins, and porous media, which can further enhance thermal efficiency by increasing the surface area available for heat transfer, leading to systems with improved thermal efficiency, reduced energy, consumption, and enhanced performance in various industrial, commercial, and residential applications.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
