Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Development of modern engineering applications demands the heat transfer enhancement. At the same time, efficient heat transfer equipment is necessary to reduce energy consumption and improve energy savings. Such techniques allow also to reduce emissions and pollution and to obtain more control in carbon dioxide increase. Heat transfer enhancement is both very attractive and challenging in the research and industry fields. It has a fundamental role in improving energy efficiency, as well as in developing thermal systems with high performances. Heat transfer enhancement techniques can be found in different engineering applications, such as solar energy systems, thermal control, electronics cooling, nuclear reactors, heat exchangers, automotive cooling, refrigeration, chemical process, etc. They are classified as passive methods and active methods. In the first method, no direct application of external power is required, whereas in the second method an external power source is necessary. The effectiveness of heat transfer enhancement techniques is strongly related to the heat transfer mechanisms. This can be due to single-phase free convection and dispersed-flow film boiling. Plate fins, nanofluids, and porous insertions can be considered as examples of passive techniques, while magnetic fields, induced vibrations, and rotations are examples of active techniques. The present Special Issue is a good opportunity to collect original papers on the most recent research activities on the topic to provide useful guidelines for future research directions and engineering applications.

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.
