Special Issue Information
Thermal engineering is a specialized discipline that deals with the movement and transfer of heat energy. Industrial thermal systems include automotive engines, jet engines, rockets, power plants, refrigeration and air-conditioning plants, refineries, chemical processing plants, food processing and preservation units, and manufacturing industries. Heat transfer plays a critical role in improving the efficiency of these thermal systems, and its analysis through various novel approaches helps in identifying losses so as to mitigate them with appropriate thermal enhancement techniques. This Special Issue on “Heat Transfer Analysis in Thermal Engineering” is open for original research articles that use experimental, theoretical, or computational approaches to analyze and solve thermal engineering problems. Review articles about the latest developments and research efforts in this field are also welcome. The topics of interest will include, but are not limited to:
- 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;
- Multi-phase heat transfer systems;
- Battery cooling systems;
- Electronic cooling systems;
- Heat energy conversion and recovery;
- Solar thermal systems;
- Thermal enhancement techniques.

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.
