Advances in Thermal Process Engineering and Simulation

Dear Colleague,

Global changes force societies to adapt to continue with life. Technology is the means of such adapting processes. There are two main parts to the analysis of thermal processes: computer-assisted simulation and experimental evaluation of prototypes.

Recently, there has been a series of works, in both aspects of theoretical and experimental in thermal processes, that show improvements in the performance, efficiency, operating coefficients, exergetic indices and other comparative parameters that confirm the adaptation of technology to reduce emissions of carbon. The economic, social and environmental impacts are related to these parameters. Thermal processes are as diverse as the production cycles to which they are added, adapted or expanded.

Advances in thermal processes undoubtedly have relevance in terms of sustainability and guarantee local energy security for the benefit of the society in which they are involved.

This Special Issue on "Thermal Process Engineering and Simulation" seeks high-quality simulated or experimentally evaluated papers focused on novel advances in technology that solve local problems that may eventually serve as a framework for similar thermal processes elsewhere and may include approaches to thermal models of particular processes, basic science studies, studies of transport properties or energy storage, sensitivity studies of parameters in already known models but with novel applications, thermodynamic cycles of heating or cooling, studies with either conventional energies or renewable energies, innovative applications of existing cycles, energy evaluations, environmental impacts, educational impacts, social impacts and economic impacts associated to thermal processes in current conditions and defined locations.

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-anonymized 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 semimonthly 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.
