Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled ‘Advances in Heat and Mass Transfer’, organized in cooperation with the XVII Symposium on Heat and Mass Transfer (SWCiM 2025). The Special Issue will be published in the open access journal Energies, and we warmly welcome submissions from conference participants as well as researchers from the broader scientific community.

The SWCiM 2025 Symposium will be held from 8 to 10 September 2025 in Kielce, Poland. This national scientific event aims to facilitate the exchange of ideas and insights into current and emerging challenges in the fields of thermal engineering and refrigeration, encompassing both fundamental and applied research in heat and mass transfer.

Thematic sessions will cover topics such as the following:

  • Flow boiling and condensation;
  • Multiphase flows;
  • Innovative thermal systems;
  • Measurement methods in thermal sciences;
  • Thermal management and control.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Modelling and experimental investigation of heat and mass transfer processes;
  • Modelling and experimental investigation of heat exchangers;
  • Micro- and nanoscale thermal phenomena;
  • Analytical, analytical–numerical, and CFD-based modelling of heat and mass transfer processes;
  • Application issues related to heat and mass exchangers in thermal power engineering;
  • Studies of thermal-flow processes in thermal energy systems;
  • Innovative solutions and technological progress in the field of heat and mass exchangers;
  • Multiphase flows;
  • Refrigeration and cryogenics;
  • Renewable energy sources.

We encourage contributions from all researchers from other communities whose work aligns with the themes outlined above.

We look forward to your valuable submissions.

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).

This study investigates the effects of magnetic field orientation and axial extent on convective heat transfer in a laminar flow of water-based ferrofluid through a heated horizontal tube. Experiments were conducted at Reynolds numbers of 109, 150, and 164 using two field configurations: lateral fields, with magnets positioned on opposite sides of the tube with varying polarities, and axial fields, with one to three magnets arranged sequentially underneath the tube to vary the magnetic interaction length. In lateral configurations, the impact on the local Nusselt number was negligible or slightly negative depending on magnet orientation. In contrast, axial configurations demonstrated a clear relationship between the magnetic field interaction length and heat transfer enhancement. The local Nusselt number increased progressively with the number of magnets, reaching a maximum of 28.0% for the triple-magnet configuration at Re = 109. The average improvements in the magnetically influenced region were 6.8%, 10.3%, and 14.7% for the single, double, and triple magnet configurations, respectively. These values resulted from the combined effect of magnetic field geometry and Reynolds number, emphasizing the importance of both interaction length and flow conditions in shaping convective heat transfer in ferronanofluid systems.

The temperature rise in mass concrete structures, caused by the exothermic process of cement hydration and concurrent heat exchange with the environment, results in thermal gradients between the core and outer layers of the structure. These gradients generate tensile stresses that may exceed the early age tensile strength of concrete, leading to cracking. Therefore, reliable prediction of the temperature rise and associated thermal gradients is essential for assessing the risk of early age thermal cracking. Traditional methods for predicting temperature development rely on numerical simulations and simplified analytical approaches, which are often time-consuming and impractical for rapid engineering assessments. This paper proposes a machine learning-based (ML) approach to predict temperature rise and thermal gradients in mass concrete. The dataset was generated using the analytical CIRIA C766 method, enabling systematic selection and gradation of key factors, which is nearly impossible using measurements collected from full-scale structures and is essential for identifying an effective ML model. Three regression models, linear regression, decision tree, and XGBoost were trained and evaluated on simulated datasets that included concrete mix parameters and environmental conditions. Among these, the XGBoost model achieved the highest accuracy in predicting the maximum temperature rise and the temperature differential between the core and surface of the analysed element. The results confirm the suitability of ML models for reliable thermal response prediction. Furthermore, ML models can provide a usable alternative to conventional methods, offering both tools to thermal control strategies and insight into the influence of input factors on temperature in early age mass concrete.
