Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heat and mass transfer phenomena underpin the efficiency, safety, and innovation of countless modern technologies. Their significance continues to grow across both established and emerging fields, including renewable energy systems, microelectronics cooling, aerospace thermal management, biomedical engineering, additive manufacturing, climate control, and sustainable process engineering. This expanding scope drives advances in materials, computational modeling, experimental techniques, and system design, enabling breakthroughs in energy efficiency, miniaturization, thermal reliability, and environmental sustainability. Concurrently, demands for higher performance and novel applications push research toward multiphysics modeling, multiscale analysis, and intelligent control strategies for thermal and mass transport systems.
This Special Issue aims to showcase and disseminate cutting-edge research in the theory, simulation, experimentation, and application of heat and mass transfer processes.
Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to
- Conduction, convection (forced/natural), and radiation heat transfer;
- Phase-change phenomena (boiling, condensation, melting/solidification);
- Mass diffusion, convection, and coupled heat/mass transfer;
- Micro/nanoscale thermal transport and nanofluids;
- Porous media transport and multiphase flows;
- Heat and mass transfer in renewable energy systems (solar thermal, batteries, fuel cells, geothermal);
- Thermal management of electronics, data centers, and electric vehicles;
- Advanced materials for thermal insulation, conductivity, or storage;
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and multiscale modeling of transport phenomena;
- Experimental techniques and diagnostics in heat/mass transfer;
- Optimization and machine learning applications in thermal system design;
- Sustainable heat recovery, waste heat utilization, and energy-efficient processes;
- Heat and mass transfer in extreme environments (aerospace, cryogenics, high-temperature processes).

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.
