Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
At the beginning of the new millennium, applied thermodynamics and heat transfer paved the way for significant improvements in our quality of life with advances in major areas such as electricity generation and transmission, heating and cooling, air travel, and space flight. Moreover, they can enhance human well-being by addressing looming societal challenges related to the energy crisis, global climate change, and burgeoning population. Specifically, applied thermodynamics and heat transfer provide insights into the design, development, optimization, and performance improvement of cooling, power, and energy systems.
Owing to abovementioned reasons, we proposed this Special Issue, which aims to address current issues in the area of applied thermodynamics and heat transfer. Scientists are invited to share recent advancements in both the foundations and applications of the relevant research area. Original research, as well as review articles and short communications, may include (but are not limited to) studies on the thermodynamic process and heat transfer of novel energy-saving technologies developed for environmental protection purposes. Additionally, reports on the use of thermodynamics and heat transfer for analyzing physical phenomena with experimental methods or computational procedures are very welcome.

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. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
