Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, the development of modern engineering devices, including heat exchangers, chemical reactors, electronic devices, and others, demands a deeper understanding of the transport processes within these systems. One of the main transport processes is heat transfer. In addition, at high or moderate temperatures, thermal radiation can play an essential role. Therefore, the analysis of this transport mechanism of energy is very important and useful. From a practical and engineering point of view, the study of energy systems should include entropy generation analysis. It is well known that entropy, as a thermodynamic function, reflects a system’s operating status. At the same time, it is necessary to minimize the entropy generation of a system to improve its working effectiveness. The entropy generation minimization technique can be employed for the optimization of technical systems including heat exchangers, elements of nuclear and thermal power plants, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, and so on. This method for the analysis of technical systems takes into account the impacts of hydrodynamics, heat transfer, magnetic fields, porous insertions, and other factors affecting a system’s effectiveness and, irrespective of technical and economic studies, allows to evaluate the basic functionality of a system.
This Special Issue will be an opportunity for extending the research fields of thermal radiation and entropy generation analysis to all aspects of fundamental and practical research. It is a very good chance to collect original studies on the considered topic and present useful guidelines for future researches.

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.
