Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Energies, entitled “The Latest Advances In and Prospects of Multiphase Flow and Heat and Mass Transfer: 2nd Edition”.
Transfer phenomena can be found in various fields of science and engineering, including heat and mass transfer and multiphase fluid flow. These phenomena address applications from the nanoscale to the macroscale, from single-phase to multiphase scenarios, from non-reactive to reactive flows, and from ground to space. With increasing energy consumption and environmental pollution, significant demands are being placed on the further improvement of traditional technologies or the development of novel alternatives.
In order to achieve the efficient utilization of phase-change and transfer technology, heat and mass transfer mechanisms and multiphase flow at different scales are important factors to consider.
This Special Issue will address the latest research, application trends, and fundamentals of energy utilization, including materials, devices and systems. In particular, this collection will address heat and mass transfer and multiphase flow in various devices and systems. The preparation, characterization, and heat transfer properties of different functional structures are of interest. We welcome both experimental and computational studies, such as those focusing on molecular dynamics, dissipative particle dynamics, and the lattice Boltzmann method, among others.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The mixing and separation of two-phase flow.
- The measurement of multiphase flow, including flow patterns, liquid film thickness, and void fractions.
- Advanced microchannel heat sinks, heat pipes, and vapor chambers.
- Boiling and condensation on functional surfaces and micro/nano-structures.
- Cooling electronic devices and thermal management systems of electrical vehicles, including air cooling, liquid cooling, and phase-change material cooling or heating.
- The latent heat function of nanofluids and nanocapsules.
- Micro/nano heat transfer and multiphase flow of thermal energy storage and thermal management systems, including both experimental and computational studies.
- Advanced energy storage management systems.
- Advanced solar receivers and power cycles.
- Oval phase-change materials for thermal storage and management, including organic, inorganic, and eutectic or micro/nano-encapsulated phase-change materials.
