Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heat transfer enhancement has always been an area of active research due to its importance in improving the performances of macro- and micro-devices, its contribution to energy conservation and its role in sustnability. One branch of heat transfer that has received significant interest recently involves the use of two-phase flow as a mechanism for heat transfer enhancement, including but not limited to gas–liquid (bubbly) flow, condensation heat transfer, flow boiling in channels and thermal energy storage. A substantial number of cooling systems that rely on two-phase flow techniques can be found in the industry today, such as in heat exchangers, solar power plants, chemical processes, aeronautics, nuclear and power generation plants, the petroleum industry, microchannels, food processing industries and many more.
In this Special Issue of Applied Sciences, we invite submissions exploring recent advancements in heat transfer enhancement technologies that covers all aspects of two-phase heat transfer techniques. We welcome both experimental and theoretical studies, as well as comprehensive reviews.

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.
