Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

One of the key challenges for modern technology is the use of advanced solutions for heat transfer processes in order to obtain the cleanest and most effective energy conversion in thermal processes. It is related to a number of aspects related both to the recognition of physical processes, as well as in the field of design, application and manufacturing of heat exchangers. The continuous development of thermal energy aimed at the use of new generations of fully environmentally safe working fluids, and ever higher requirements in terms of energy conversion efficiency require new approaches to heat transfer processes. These issues are devoted to the proposed Special Issue of the journal, which will, in particular, cover the following areas:

  • advances in heat transfer enhancement by means of passive and active approaches;
  • heat transfer for the new generation of environmentally safe working fluids in thermal engineering;
  • thermodynamic and thermokinetic properties of environmentally safe heat transfer fluids;
  • advances in microchannel heat exchangers modelling, design, applications, and manufacturing;
  • investigations of physical aspects and reduction of thermal degradation processes of heat transfer equipment, including aspects of fouling, frosting, and inert gases effects;
  • development of accurate modelling of heat transfer equipment;
  • innovative approaches for the development of heat transfer equipment and its applications;
  • environmental assessment of heat transfer processing.

Preliminary deadlines for the submission of papers:

  • papers submission: 31 December 2021
  • reviewing process: 31 January 2022
  • revised papers submission: 15 March 2022
  • final acceptance: 31 March 2022

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. 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.
