Advances in Modeling Caloric Cooling Devices

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on Advances in Modeling Caloric Cooling Devices.

The current neccessity of finding ways to mitigate the effects of global warming, provoked by human activity, has led to a steep increase in the development of advanced heat-management systems. In this context, a considerable fraction of the innovative cooling systems being developed are caloric cooling devices. Due to the large number of possibilities regarding the development of caloric cooling cycles, modeling them is of paramount importance when designing effective systems. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring the modeling of advanced cooling devices, including the use of caloric technologies such as magnetocaloric, electrocaloric, elastocaloric and barocaloric materials. Since the validation of developed models is critical, experimental works that include the modeling of one or more components of these systems are also welcome. This Special Issue accepts both survey papers and 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 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-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.
