Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics (or lab on a chip) and microscale flow and heat/mass transfer are areas of research that have continuously expanded and flourished over many years. These areas are linked to a variety of applications in biology, chemistry, pharmacy, microelectronics, and heat transfer engineering, among many others, and have been powerful in unprecedented ways. Along with acquiring a more in-depth understanding of complex fluids and multiphase flows, increasingly more new functionalities in microfluidic devices and microscale flow and heat/mass transfer techniques are being invented. Meanwhile, the relevant techniques for conducting research in these areas, both experimental and numerical, are also being developed.
We are inviting submissions for a Special Issue of Energies “Microfluidics and Microscale Flow and Heat/Mass Transfer”, which is dedicated to the abovementioned subject areas. With this Special Issue, we expect to compile the latest developments in these and related areas, especially applications of complex fluids (normally non-Newtonian) or multiphase flows in microfluidics and thermal fluid sciences at micro or nanoscopic scale. Specific topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Multiphase flows (with heat/mass transfer) in microchannels or microfluidic devices;
- Non-Newtonian fluid flows (with heat/mass transfer) in microchannels or microfluidic devices;
- Heat transfer enhancement techniques at microscale;
- Phase change heat transfer at microscale.
- Experimental methods and measurements in microchannel flows (with heat/mass transfer) or microfluidic devices;
- Numerical methods and simulations related to microchannel flows (with heat/mass transfer) or microfluidics.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
