Studies on Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Electrolyte Solutions

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on “Chemical Processes Thermodynamics” will curate novel advances in research which either use modeling and simulation as an important component for the analysis of chemistry and chemical engineering, or present the development of new and better models of chemistry and chemical thermodynamics.

In order to maximize impact, authors contributing to this Special Issue will be invited to deposit their process models in the open access repository or provide them as supplementary material. These may include contributions such as process simulation files, computer code, spreadsheets, model files, optimization codes, or other relevant digital objects used for modeling and simulation purposes with either commercial or open-source software. Articles on molecular structures, dynamics, and intermolecular forces and on the solvent roles in structural and dynamical properties and thermodynamic quantities at the molecular level will be considered for publication.

Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The development of models or simulations of individual process units contained within chemical systems.
• The development of models or simulations of chemical process systems.
• Simulation techniques, software, algorithms, or other tools for modeling and simulation.
• Design, analysis, control, optimization, operation, planning, or scheduling of chemical engineering that employs models or simulations, such as techno-economic analyses, energy/exergy analyses, environmental or life cycle analyses, value and supply chains analysis, molecular simulation, or others.

Thank you and I hope you consider contributing to this Special Issue.

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.
