Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of components in mechanical and electronic equipment and systems has become increasingly complex in recent decades. Heat and mass transfer processes, usually accompanied by multiphase flow, are crucial for the normal operation of such equipment and systems and thus attract a great amount of attention from a thermal management perspective. Significant effort has been devoted to deepening our understanding of complex heat transfer processes, especially microscale and nanoscale heat transfer, and advancing the development of related applications in microchannels or nanoparticles applications. For example, phase change (e.g., boiling and condensation), nanofluids, and micro-/nano-structured surfaces are applied to enhance heat transfer and achieve a potentially higher critical heat flux. The aim of this Special Issue is to present recent advances in heat and mass transfer in microscale and nanoscale heat transfer, including but not limited to associated theoretical analyses, experimental measurements, numerical simulations, and practical 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 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. 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.
