Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue covers topics on the vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) from both a theoretical and experimental viewpoint. Molecular simulations (e.g., density functional theory and molecular dynamics) and experimental techniques that focus on the equilibrium compositions and the effect of temperature and pressure on the equilibrium are the main focus area.
This Special Issue aims to discuss the relationships that are essential to the thermodynamic treatment of the equilibrium, mostly between the liquid and vapor phases of systems, the determination of excess properties, the validation of models that express the systems most accurately, and other vital parameters, such as chemical potentials and fugacity/activity coefficients. Liquid–liquid equilibrium (LLE) is also in the scope of this Special Issue. Furthermore, high- and ultra-high-pressure experimental vapor phase properties (e.g., density, viscosity, and phase diagrams) of pure compounds and mixtures are also within the scope of this Special Issue. Computational work that attempts to provide a nanoscopic explanation of VLE and LLE systems, such as short-range interactions, interfacial effects of the liquid–liquid phases, and similar applications, will also be accepted.
This Special Issue will also accept specific studies on the methods for the direct determination of flash or distillation properties/optimization, the determination of dew and bubble points, and the flow properties of complex multi-component and multi-phase systems. Finally, this Special Issue also welcomes dedicated submissions that attempt to provide a comprehensive literature review that spans the last decade on the systems mentioned above, emphasizing VLE and LLE systems. An emphasis on ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, and organic acids will be highly appreciated.

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. Thermo is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
