Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heat and mass transfer plays a crucial role in a wide range of natural and engineering systems, from energy conversion and materials processing to environmental and biological applications. Understanding the underlying physics and developing advanced methods for modeling, simulation, and experimentation are essential for optimizing industrial processes and enhancing technological innovations.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to present recent advances in heat and mass transfer, focusing on both fundamental theoretical developments and novel applications. We welcome contributions that explore analytical, numerical, and experimental approaches to the study of transport phenomena in complex systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fundamental Theories: New insights into conduction, convection, radiation, phase change, and multispecies diffusion in single- and multiphase flows.
- Computational and Experimental Methods: Advances in numerical modeling techniques, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), machine learning-based predictions, and experimental validation methods.
- Multiscale and Multiphysics Problems: Investigations into coupled transport processes in micro- and nanoscale systems, porous media, and multiphysics interactions such as thermal–electrical or thermal–chemical coupling.
- Industrial and Environmental Applications: Innovations in energy systems, heat exchangers, combustion, additive manufacturing, thermal management in electronics, biomedical heat transfer, and climate-related transport phenomena.
- Non-Newtonian and Complex Fluids: Studies on viscoplastic, shear-thinning, and multiphase fluids in heat and mass transfer applications, including their role in geophysical and industrial processes.
By bringing together contributions from different domains, this Special Issue will advance the current understanding of heat and mass transfer while fostering interdisciplinary collaborations. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the development of theory, methods, and practical applications in this field.

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. 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.
