Interests: flow diagnostics for single-phase, e.g., in aerodynamics, mixers, and multiphase such as in heat exchangers, industrial mixers, turbomachinery, and oil and gas and process pipelines; instrumentation: conductance, capacitance, optical fibre sensors; imaging with high-speed cameras, laser diagnostics (especially particle image velocimetry PIV), and image processing with phase separation; CFD flow modelling
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased invite you to submit your high-quality manuscripts to this Special Issue on “Enhanced Heat and Mass Transfer in Process Systems and Oil and Gas Pipelines” in the journal Energies. The theme of the paper may relate to theoretical, experimental or numerical studies investigating phenomena related to heat and mass transfer. Target topics include single-phase and multiphase flows in pipes, mixers, cyclones, and other separators, as well as open channels, with heat transfer in these systems where applicable.
Novel instrumentation and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of these systems based on standard techniques (e.g., PIV and RANS modelling, respectively) will be of immense interest to readers. CFD work with commercial software should include deep analysis of the results, and studies using open-source codes are encouraged. Works that examine phenomena in renewable energy systems are also strongly encouraged.
Manuscripts may be review papers or regular papers based on applied or fundamental studies. Physical and mathematical modelling including machine learning is of interest, as well as field case studies. For example, a fundamental study may be about understanding the mechanisms of boundary layer interaction with a functional surface. Instances of applied research may concern the optimisation of a pipeline for heavy oil transport or the design of novel channels which have important environmental applications.
The Special Issue will explore the technical challenges related to important heat and mass transfer problems and will serve as an excellent opportunity to rapidly share your research in an open-access journal for the widest reach and impact.
We look forward to receiving your manuscripts for this Special Issue.

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.
