Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on recent progress in and innovative applications of nanofluids, emphasizing their unique properties and their potential to improve performance in a variety of engineering and industrial contexts. As suspensions of nanoparticles within base fluids, nanofluids are recognized for their exceptional thermal, electrical, and rheological characteristics, attracting growing interest from both academia and industry.
We invite submissions addressing the following topics, among others:
- Novel synthesis methods and comprehensive characterization of nanofluids;
- Enhanced thermal conductivity and heat transfer capabilities;
- Practical uses of nanofluids in cooling, lubrication, and heat exchange systems;
- Dielectric performance of nanofluids and their application as insulating fluids;
- Long-term stability, dispersion methods, and performance optimization;
- Environmental implications and sustainability aspects of nanofluids;
- Advanced modeling and simulation techniques for predicting nanofluid behavior;
- Case studies highlighting industrial implementations in energy, electronics, and manufacturing;
- Future challenges and opportunities for large-scale adoption of nanofluid technologies.
This Special Issue seeks original research articles, review articles, and short communications that expand the current knowledge and practical use of nanofluids. We strongly encourage contributions that present novel insights or address key challenges in this dynamic 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.
