International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer
International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer is a leading international journal in the field and serves as the vehicle for the exchange of basic ideas in heat and mass transfer between research workers and engineers throughout the world. It focuses on theoretical, computational and experimental research, with an emphasis on contributions which increase the basic understanding of transfer processes and their application to engineering problems.Topics include (but not limited to):• New methods of measuring and/or correlating transport-property data • Energy engineering • Environmental applications of heat and/or mass transfer- ISSN: 0017-9310
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer
The International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT) serves as a worldwide forum promoting the rapid dissemination of transformative, high-impact research in all areas of heat and mass transfer and related processes, technologies, and systems. The ICHMT is read by research workers, engineers, and scientists throughout the world.Three types of manuscripts will be considered for publication in the Journal. These include Communications, Comments on papers published by the ICHMT, and Reviews on important technological topics.- ISSN: 0735-1933
International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow
The International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow publishes high impact research exploring the underlying physics or fundamental mechanisms governing fluid dynamic processes or/and heat transfer processes. The Journal seeks to publish novel contributions presenting original experimental or simulation results, developments in modelling or data-driven methods with an emphasis on describing novel insights into phenomena or unique features in fluid flow or/and heat transfer. Thematically related papers contributing to advances to engineering design and applications are welcome. The Journal encourages high-quality original contributions to transdisciplinary applications, including low-carbon/green power conversion system; thermo-acoustic interactions; micro/nano-scale thermos-fluidics; biological and environmental flows; flow-induced vibrations; and thermal and/or flow control.- ISSN: 0142-727X
Applied Thermal Engineering
Processes. Technologies. Systems. Production. Storage. UtilizationApplied Thermal Engineering disseminates novel research related to the design, development and demonstration of components, devices, equipment, technologies, systems and, in general, solutions involving thermal processes for the production, storage, utilization, management and conservation of energy, with a focus on engineering application. It is noted that articles concerned with the development and/or characterization of materials are only within scope if they include content relating to the implications of the employment of these materials in engineering applications, e.g., by considering their operation and/or performance within components, devices, equipment, technologies and/or wider thermal systems. Research relating to the use of energy for thermal management in diverse applications, from electrical and electronic components to buildings and wider energy systems, is also considered to be within scope if thermal management and/or other thermal application elements are included.The journal publishes high-quality and high-impact Original Research Articles, Review Articles, Vision Articles, Invited Articles, Rapid Communication Articles and Letters to the Editor on cutting-edge innovations in research, and recent advances or issues of interest to the thermal engineering community. Review Articles are generally by invitation. Prospective authors are asked to submit Review Article proposals to the Editor-in-Chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor Dr. Kai Wang using this form. Subject to proposal approval, authors will be invited to submit their full article under the appropriate article type. Further details regarding article types can be found in this Guide for Authors under the heading “Article types”.Applied Thermal Engineering encourages the publication of special issues. Special issue organisers are invited to complete and submit a dedicated proposal form to the Editor-in-Chief and Journal Development Editors (see the Editorial Board page) for review and approval at the Board level. The form can be downloaded here for themed special issues and here for conference special issues.Example topics of interest to Applied Thermal Engineering include:Components, devices and equipment such as heat exchangers, heat pipes, energy storage devices, power plants, heat pumps and cooling or refrigeration plants, combined heat and power plants and other polygeneration systems, advanced or alternative cycles, combustion as a thermal energy process and a way to transfer this energy to or within components or systems (such as, for example, boilers, furnaces, internal combustion engines or gas turbines), heat transfer enhancement or suppression as applied to the above, and other unit operations involving thermal engineering processes.Renewable and clean-energy technologies such as solar-thermal or hybrid technologies or systems, the integration of renewable energy within conventional energy processes and systems, energy storage options, thermal management of fuel cells and batteries, and other alternative applied solutions for improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions through thermal engineering.Componen... through to system design covering energy production, storage and utilization, management and conservation in industrial applications, as well as residential or commercial buildings, including solutions to improve thermal performance via passive design techniques, amongst other.Economic assessments of thermal engineering projects, and of the financial performance and implications of component, equipment, technology and system design, implementation and operation.- ISSN: 1359-4311
