Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The transfer of large heat fluxes is one of the most significant issues with modern technology. In recent years, the range of applications for heat transfer through mini gaps with different geometries has broadened considerably, extending to a new generation of systems. The trend toward the miniaturization of the components of mechanical and electronic equipment has been the driving force behind the development of increasingly better cooling technologies that are designed to prevent maximum allowable operating temperatures from being exceeded. Theoretical analyses, experimental measurements, and practical applications have been performed to help us to understand heat and mass transfer phenomena in mini gaps. The results of these studies provide us with information about the design of cooling systems that use minichannel devices and can be applied in cooling, thermostabilization, and thermoregulation. Despite the growing number of new studies dealing with heat and mass transfer in mini gaps, the results refer mainly to a narrow range of parameters. Results concerning heat and mass transfer during fluid flow along mini gaps are inconsistent or even contradictory. Studies that concentrate on systems with an enhanced structure have attracted attention due to their potential to enhance heat transfer.
I invite you to submit an article for publication in a Special Issue of Energies on the subject of “Heat and Mass Transfer Issues in Mini Gaps 2021-2022”. Topics of interest include:
- Heat and mass transfer;
- Boiling and condensation;
- Heat transfer by convection;
- Heat transfer enhancement;
- Multiphase flow;
- Unsteady flow and instabilities;
- Methods for identifying two-phase flow structures;
- Computational methods for solving heat and mass transfer problems;
- Prediction of correlations between heat transfer and pressure drops; and
- Practical applications.
Original articles containing experimental research, case studies, theoretical analyses, computational methods, practical applications, or other discussions on heat and mass transfer in mini gaps are strongly encouraged.

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.
