Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, entitled "Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics in Energy Systems", aims to explore the critical interplay between thermodynamic principles and fluid mechanics in the design, analysis, and optimization of modern energy systems. As the global demand for sustainable energy solutions escalates, it is essential to understand the fundamental behaviors of fluids under various thermodynamic conditions.
This Special Issue welcomes contributions that address a wide range of topics, including but not limited to, the following:
- Thermal Management: Exploring the conversion mechanisms of diverse energy systems, with an emphasis on thermochemical processes during combustion systems and clean utilization technologies for biomass/solid waste.
- Fluid Dynamics: Investigating the flow behavior of gases and liquids in energy systems through advanced methodologies, encompassing both laminar and turbulent regimes, and their impact on system efficiency.
- Energy Conversion Processes: Analyzing the thermodynamic cycles used in boilers, engines, and turbines, focusing on efficiency improvements and innovative designs.
This Special Issue will provide valuable insights into the integration of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, paving the way for advancements in energy technologies and promoting a more sustainable future. Researchers, engineers, and practitioners are encouraged to submit original research articles, review papers, and case studies that reflect the latest developments and applications in this interdisciplinary field.

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.
