Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many innovative and high-end techniques have been developed and employed for changing our daily lives, namely, artificial intelligence (AI) technology, autonomous car, hyper-loop for high-speed transportation, miniaturization of electronic devices, and heat dissipation from cooling films to outer space, and so on. However, these innovative technologies can not reach their optimal performance without adequate techniques for heat transfer or a well-control of temperature during operation.
Manuscripts are welcome to be submitted to cover the topics of thermal management of data centers, electronic devices, renewable energy applications, autonomous cars, thin films with well-defined structures for reflection or emission of thermal radiation, two-phase heat transfer phenomenon on surfaces with hierarchical structures, and applications of AI with regards to heat transfer. Furthermore, we invite manuscripts that focus on novel research regarding the development of components, equipment, and techniques involving thermal processes. However, special topics are not limited to the aforementioned ones.

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. Inventions 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 1800 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.
