Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Heat and Mass Transfer Optimization in Efficient Energy Conversion and Thermal Management”, addresses advanced methods and technologies to improve the performance, reliability, and sustainability of thermal systems. In this context, efficient heat and mass transfer is essential across various sectors, such as power generation, electronic equipment cooling, automotive systems, and renewable energy applications. It highlights theoretical and experimental investigations that contribute to optimizing energy conversion processes through advanced thermal management techniques. Topics of interest include innovative heat exchanger designs, phase change materials, nanofluids, passive and active cooling strategies, CFD-based analyses, and multiscale modeling approaches. Moreover, it also emphasizes the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and optimization algorithms to enhance the control and prediction of thermal behavior. Therefore, the core objective is to address current challenges in reducing energy consumption, increasing thermal efficiency, and promoting environmental sustainability in modern energy systems. Finally, this Special Issue aims to serve as a platform for exchanging innovative ideas and practical solution proposals targeting the complex challenges of thermal engineering.

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.
