Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to consolidate cutting-edge research in the field of heat and mass transfer, focusing on the fundamental role of symmetry in transport phenomena. We seek to bring together theoretical insights, computational advancements, and experimental findings that elucidate the symmetrical aspects of transfer processes and their practical applications in engineering systems. The scope encompasses a wide range of topics, from molecular-level interactions to macroscale industrial applications. We particularly encourage contributions that explore novel approaches to enhance heat and mass transfer efficiency, develop innovative analytical methods, or uncover patterns in complex transfer systems.
This Special Issue welcomes high-quality, original research papers that advance our understanding of symmetry in heat and mass transfer processes and their engineering implications.

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. Symmetry 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.
