Heat and Mass Transfer in Intense Liquid Evaporation

Dear Colleagues,

High-temperature multiphase flows are widely used in chemical technologies and power engineering. At intensive liquid evaporation, it is important to consider convection in both gas and liquid phases. In this case, at a liquid–gas boundary (films, drops, rivulets, jets, and bubbles), there is the Marangoni flow that enhances heat and mass transfer. In recent decades, textured walls and nanofluids have been effectively used to intensify transfer processes. The combined effects of wall textures, nanopowders, and convection are extremely difficult to simulate. Experimental studies of hydrodynamics and heat transfer of complex flows in the presence of many key factors help to develop modern physical models. The integral methods used to determine the coefficients of friction and heat transfer do not allow unraveling mechanisms associated with surface phenomena. Therefore, much attention is currently being given to defining local, instantaneous parameters for the fields of velocity, temperature, and concentration. The combination of integral and local methods serves to more deeply understand the physics of transfer processes and to develop simple computational methods for technical application.

In this Special Issue, we will present to readers the results of research in the field of heat and mass transfer in intense liquid evaporation. We are pleased to invite researchers to contribute to creation of the Special Issue dedicated to various aspects of heat and mass transfer in high-temperature multiphase flows.

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.
