Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We cordially invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Energies entitled Heat Transfer and Multiphase Flow in Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Systems.
With worsening energy consumption and environmental pollution, the effective utilization and thermal energy storage for renewable energy have received great attention in solar energy, hydrogen energy, building energy-saving, cooling electronic devices, battery thermal management of electrical vehicles, etc. To achieve the efficient utilization and thermal energy storage for renewable energy, the heat and mass transfer mechanisms and the thermal properties of materials and systems are important factors to consider.
This Special Issue will cover recent research and trends in utilization and thermal energy storage for renewable energy, including materials, devices and systems. In particular, this Special Issue will cover the heat and mass transfer and multiphase flow in various devices and systems. The preparation, characterization and thermal properties of different materials are of interest. We welcome both experimental and computational studies, such as molecular dynamics, dissipative particle dynamics, the lattice Boltzmann method, and so on.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Thermal energy storage techniques, including sensible heat, latent heat, and thermochemical heat or a combination of these.
- Oval phase-change materials for thermal storage and management, including organic, inorganic, and eutectic or micro/nanoencapsulated phase-change materials.
- Advanced microchannel heat sink, heat pipe, and vapor chamber.
- Boiling and condensation on functional surfaces and micro/nano-structures.
- Cooling electronic devices and battery thermal management systems of electrical vehicles, including air cooling, liquid cooling, and phase-change material cooling or heating.
- Latent heat function of nanofluids and nanocapsules.
- Micro/nano heat transfer and multiphase flow of thermal energy storage and thermal management systems, including both experimental and computational studies.
- Advanced energy storage management systems.
- Advanced solar receivers and power cycles.

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.
