Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue “Thermal Synergy for Sustainable Futures: Innovations in Heat Transfer and Energy System Integration” is now open for submissions. Heat transfer technique is a key process in thermal energy conversion in many industry fields, such as solar energy systems, compact nuclear power systems, energy storage systems, biomass energy utilization, new energy vehicles, advanced aerospace engines, etc. In recent years, the heat transfer technique has undergone many innovations integrated with various energy systems, to meet the extreme working conditions, coupled multi-physical fields and various design demands. Many advanced heat and mass transfer techniques, such as micro/nano scale heat and mass transfer, supercritical flow heat transfer, compact heat exchanger, electromagnetic coupling heat and mass transfer, multi-objective design, etc., have been developed and investigated.
In this Special Issue, we want to report the advanced heat and mass transfer theories and techniques in power and energy systems over the past few decades. The scopes are not limited to conduction, convection and radiation heat transfers. We especially encourage the heat and mass transfers in micro/nano scales, multi-physical fields coupled, extremely working conditions, new design methods, etc.
This Special Issue presents an opportunity for the discussion and exchange of heat transfer and energy systems integration research and findings. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Convection heat transfer
- Radiation heat transfer
- Heat conduction
- Condensation, boiling, evaporation
- Micro/nano scale heat and mass transfer
- Compact heat exchanger
- Solar energy system
- Nuclear system
- Energy storage system
- Biomass energy utilization
- New energy vehicles
- Electromagnetic coupling heat and mass transfer
- Multi-objective design

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. Sustainability 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.
