Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit your original research or overview papers to this Special Issue on the “Heat transfer in the components of power boilers and related technological and endurance problems" in Energies.
Renewable energy becomes a decisive factor in power energy, as their activity alters the stable operation of conventional power units to unsteady, with fast start-ups and shout-downs.
Newly built power units (coal- or gas-fired, nuclear) have higher efficiency, that results from raised parameters of steam.
As a result, new materials with appropriate mechanical and physical properties are employed in order to withstand the challenging parameters of operation. In nuclear energy, additional ionizing radiation makes the operation of parameters more demanding.
The material evolution requires new technology of manufacturing, ensuring appropriate heat transfer and the enhancement of materials durability. The presentation of research results and studies focusing on this problem will be the subject of this Special Issue of Energies.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- experimental and modeling study of heat transfer on surface and inside thick-walled elements,
- stress-strain behavior resulting from heat transfer and mechanical loading,
- methods of enhancement of heat transfer,
- manufacturing of heat exchangers and other components under mechanical and thermal loading.

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.
