Enhancement of Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow

Dear Colleagues,

The enhancement of heat transfer and fluid flow in existing and emerging engineering applications is rapidly developing. This topic encompasses enhanced heat transfer and fluid flow in natural and forced convection of liquids and gases, conduction and radiation heat transfer as well as boiling and condensation. A variety of enhancement techniques for heat transfer and fluid flow are being researched to improve the thermal and hydraulic performance of heat exchangers, heat pumps, turbomachinery, HVAC&R components, renewable energy systems, internal combustion engines, and energy conversion processes. These enhancement techniques include but are not limited to improved geometries and shapes, extended surfaces, active and passive fluid flow control, microscale and nanoscale heat transfer and fluid flow, nanofluids, and multiphase flow.

This Special Issue is open for original research articles that use experimental, theoretical, or computational approaches to the study of heat transfer and fluid flow enhancement. Review articles about the latest developments and research efforts in this field are also welcome.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
