Advances in Heat Exchangers for Sustainable Technologies Applications

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, the demand for energy-efficient and sustainable technologies has proliferated to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment in applications such as industry, agriculture, commerce, transportation, food industry, and healthcare. In this context, heat exchangers are essential in various industrial processes as well as in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. The development of efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly heat exchange technologies is imperative.

This Special Issue aims to comprehensively overview the latest heat exchangers for sustainable technology applications. This Special Issue focuses on new and innovative technologies that improve the performance of heat exchangers while reducing their environmental impact.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• Heat exchanger applications in energy recovery, heat recovery, solar thermal systems, geothermal systems, renewable energy systems, energy-efficient buildings, and low-carbon transportation applications.
• Thermal management in sustainable technologies.
• Advances in heat pipes applications.
• Heat exchanger design with phase change materials and various tube inserts.
• Micro/nano-scale, compact, and integrated heat exchangers.
• Nano/micro heat sink designs for the thermal management of high-heat-flux surfaces.
• Advanced heat carrier fluids, including nanomaterials and phase change materials.
• Advanced numerical simulation, experimental methods, and artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize and evaluate heat exchanger performance.
• Life-cycle assessment of heat exchangers.
• Techno-economic analysis of heat exchanger systems.
• Case studies and real applications of heat exchangers in sustainable technologies.
• Energetic and exergetic analyses of heat exchangers.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original research articles, review articles, and case studies that address the above topics of interest. All submitted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and the best contributions will be selected for publication in this Special Issue. This Special Issue will be of interest for researchers, engineers, and practitioners in energy, thermal science, sustainability, and environmental engineering; policymakers; and stakeholders involved in promoting and implementing sustainable technologies.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and making this Special Issue a great success.
