Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy is essential for sustaining life and fostering societal development, powering biological processes, infrastructure, and technological advancements critical for economic growth and environmental sustainability. Effective thermal management in energy systems is vital for optimizing operational efficiency, preventing thermal degradation, and ensuring reliability. Proper temperature regulation minimizes energy losses, extends component lifespan, and supports stable performance, thus enhancing overall system efficiency and safety. However, significant limitations persist in heat transfer and thermal management, including inefficiencies in heat dissipation, material constraints, and deficiencies in existing technologies. These challenges can result in localized overheating, reduced operational efficiency, and accelerated component degradation. Additionally, the thermal conductivity of commonly used materials restricts effective heat transfer. Current thermal management solutions often lack scalability and adaptability, necessitating ongoing research and innovation to develop advanced materials and methodologies that can improve thermal management and optimize the performance of energy systems.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the theory, design, modeling, application, control, and condition monitoring of all types of heat transfer and thermal management in energy systems
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Heat and Mass Transfer;
- Enhanced Heat Exchangers;
- Phase Change Materials;
- Nanotechnology;
- Thermal Management in Battery Systems;
- Smart Thermal Management Systems;
- Integration of Renewable Energy;
- Heat Transfer in Combined Heating, Cooling and Power Systems;
- Environmental and Economic Implications;
- Thermodynamics;
- Computational Fluid Dynamics;
- Heat transfer theory.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
