Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With increasing recognition of the connections between water, energy, and carbon, the need for water and energy recovery is growing. Heat transfer plays a critical role in solving the challenge of climate change and the ambitious carbon neutrality vision.
This Special Issue of Processes is organized to provide a forum for cutting-edge studies on advanced heat transfer technologies and systematic applications for integrated water–energy–carbon management. High-quality original research articles, reviews, and perspectives are welcomed. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Waste heat recovery technologies, system integration, assessment, and optimization;
- Water recovery techniques in energy systems;
- Carbon capture, utilization, and storage in energy systems;
- Advanced and emerging technologies in the energy field, such as machine learning and digital twins, and their applications for integrated water–energy–carbon management.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
