Heat and Mass Transfer in Micro/Nanoscale
This special issue belongs to the section "A: Physics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heat and mass transfer in microscale and nanoscale feature contributions from prominent researchers in the field of micro-and nanoscale heat transfer and associated technologies can help to provide a complete understanding of thermal transport in nano-materials and devices. Nanofluids can be used as working fluids in thermal systems; the thermal conductivity of heat transfer fluids can be increased by adding nanoparticles in fluids. This Special Issue covers both experimental and theoretical investigations made on nanofluids for use in engineering and technology. It examines the use of nanofluids in improving heat transfer rates, covers the numerical approaches for the computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation of nanofluids, and reviews the experimental results of commonly used nanofluids dispersed in both spherical and non-spherical nanoparticles. It mainly focuses on current and developing applications of microscale and nanoscale convective heat transfer.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
