Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to cover a wide range of topics in thermal engineering and technology such as the following: Multi-phase flow and heat transfer; Heat and mass transfer in the ecosystem; Heat and mass transfer in biomedical devices; Biofuels and internal combustion engines; Micro/nano heat transfer; Biological heat transfer; Double diffusive convection; Melting and solidification; Numerical methods in fluid flow and heat transfer; Internal flow and heat transfer; Transport phenomena in porous media; Environmental engineering; Enhanced oil recovery; Polymer processing science and technology; Waste management and waste disposal; Heat transfer with non-newtonian fluid flow; Energy management and energy systems; Air conditioning and refrigeration; Renewable energy; Micro/nanofluidics and life science application; Novel Materials: Thermal vias, heat spreaders and thermal interface materials; Thermal management in wireless, networking, computing, lighting, and harsh environments; Sub-Ambient Cooling: solid state, vapor compression, absorption, adsorption, micro-fabricated thermal management devices and systems; Advances in experimental characterization; Advances in Computational Characterization: multi-scale modeling and multi-physics modeling; Single-phase liquid cooling; Novel phase change cooling techniques; Hybrid energy storage systems; Hydrogen logistics and supply chain; Performance and fuel efficiency; Hydrogen production market analysis; Safety when storing hydrogen tanks; Hydrogen applications in the aviation/aerospace industry; The use of hydrogen to reduce global warming; Hydrogen as an alternative fuel. Contributions to this Special Issue can be experimental, numerical, or both. The 17th International Conference on Thermal Engineering (ICTEA, www.ictea.ca) is to be held in Valletta, Malta, 22–24 June 2026. The conference covers significant topics related to this Special Issue.
Papers attracting the most interest at the conference, or those that provide novel contributions, will be selected for publication in this Special Issue of Energies. These papers will be peer-reviewed for the validation of their research results, developments, and applications. We also welcome original research and review papers that are not from the conference but that are focused on the topics that will be covered at the conference.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
