Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the launch of a new Special Issue, entitled "Research on Heat Transfer Processes: Numerical Simulation and Intensification", of Processes. This Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to share breakthroughs, practical challenges, and pioneering solutions in the realm of heat transfer.
The focus of this Special Issue is to explore innovative and intensified methods of heat transfer, with a particular emphasis on numerical simulations that push the boundaries of current technologies and methodologies. Contributions may range from experimental studies to advanced simulations, covering a wide array of applications, including, but not limited to, renewable energy, chemical processing, thermal management systems, etc., as detailed below:
- Heat transfer and thermal power;
- Thermal science and energy systems;
- Thermal system design;
- Thermodynamics and combustion engineering;
- Refrigeration and air conditioning;
- Thermal turbomachines;
- Heat exchangers and heat pipes;
- Space vehicle heat transfer;
- Combustion chamber heat transfer;
- Multiphase heat transfer systems;
- Battery cooling systems;
- Electronic cooling systems;
- Heat energy conversion and recovery;
- Solar thermal systems;
- Thermal enhancement techniques.
We invite submissions that highlight novel research findings, review emerging trends, and discuss the future direction of heat transfer technologies.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
