Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the international context of carbon neutrality and carbon peaks, efficient and clean energy utilization methods are expected be explored, and the mechanisms of advanced heat transfer processes should be revealed. Revealing the law of heat and mass transfer and enhancing the heat transfer mechanism is important in the fields of energy storage, the electronic information industry, microelectronic mechanical systems, automobiles, and aerospace, etc. This means that exploring new theories and laws of heat transfer and establishing multi-scale thermodynamic models will be the main topics of future heat transfer research. The main topics include the inertial effect, wave effect, dissipation effect, and conversion effect of heat and mass, as well as a deeper understanding of the basic laws of basic physical processes such as flow, heat and mass transfer, and combustion from a combination of macroscopic, mesoscopic, and microscopic perspectives. On the other hand, energy shortages and environmental pollution seriously threaten the survival and development of human beings, which necessitates the diversification of the world's energy structure and the exploration of advanced and efficient energy conversion methods.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the advanced theory and technology of heat transfer, energy generation, utilization, conversion, storage, transmission, and conservation.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Modelling of multi-scale enhanced heat transfer;
- Application of advanced measurement technology in heat transfer and energy conversion;
- Characterization of heat mass transfer at phase interfaces;
- Deep learning and machine learning for flow pattern recognition;
- Advanced thermodynamic cycle construction;
- A new method for efficient conversion and utilization of medium and low temperature energy;
- Design optimization of complex energy conversion and utilization systems;
- Renewable energy utilization;
- New thermodynamic cycle working fluid;
- Combustion mechanism and kinetics;
- A new way to enhance heat transfer;
- New theories and laws of heat transfer;
- Advanced thermal management methods.
