Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to serve as a leading international platform for the exchange of fundamental ideas in heat and mass transfer among researchers and engineers globally. The focus is on theoretical, computational, and experimental research, with an emphasis on contributions that enhance the understanding of transfer processes and their engineering applications. The issue aims to disseminate information of enduring interest in heat and mass transfer, publishing fundamental research applicable to thermal energy and mass transfer in all fields of mechanical engineering and related disciplines. It also includes archival research on thermophysical properties and the theory of heat and mass transfer, with the aim of advancing fundamental knowledge and fostering novel technological applications.
We are honored to serve as an enabler of information exchange among mechanical, chemical, biomedical, nuclear, and aeronautical engineers, students, and researchers. We prioritize original experimental and analytical research in heat transfer, thermal power, and fluid dynamics in this Special Issue. It considers a wide range of scholarly papers on enhanced heat and mass transfer in natural and forced convection of liquids and gases. The objective is to provide a platform for sharing the latest research, innovations, and insights on sustainable energy storage and conversion.
The journal covers a wide range of topical areas, including but not limited to the following:

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. Processes 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.
