Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnology has a vast domain of usages and has been utilized for providing new products in the industrial, electronic, and energy industries. Most products resulting from nanotechnology will be subjected to heat transfer analyses, because thermal considerations have always been an essential part of any new designs. For example, as the size of heat exchangers became smaller for aircrafts applications, new heat transfer correlations were established for its design. Soon, researchers realized that the available macroscale data were insufficient to predict the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics of mini channels in compact heat exchangers, and new correlations had to be developed.
This Special Issue aims at researching innovative solutions to enhance the two-phase heat transfer by the introduction of advanced materials, nano-depositions, nano-coatings, surface treatments, and enhanced nano- and micro-geometries. The Special Issue covers the following topics: nano-/micro-scale heat conduction, nano-/micro-scale phase changes, nano-/micro-scale convection, and nano-/micro-scale radiative heat transfer. Original research papers in both experimental and theoretical aspects are welcome, and all manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
We hope this Special Issue will promote a step forward in the research of nanomaterials, toward their potential use and implementation to enhance their performance in energy applications 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. 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.
