Sciences and Innovations in Heat Pump/Refrigeration

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is a continuation from the previous Special Issue “Sciences in Heat Pump and Refrigeration”, which was successfully closed in September 2018, and we wish to attract publications related to heat pump and refrigeration. As heat pump and refrigeration are technologies used in a variety of applications, for example, air-conditioning, food preservation, hot water and steam generation, drying, cryogenic storage, etc., the related research area spans is very broad and includes both basic science and advanced engineering. Therefore, the new Special Issue welcomes basic scientific studies, such as the prediction of refrigerant properties by molecular simulation, new materials for thermally driven heat pumps, as well as applied scientific studies that lead to innovation, such as the application of AI and heat transfer enhancement by nanostructures, amongst others.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
