Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of industry and information technology, the demand for compact and highly effective electric devices has increased. With these new challenges, the use of single-phase convection heat transfer is unlikely to meet these requirements. Heat flux increases rapidly, which requires a high-efficiency cooling method to ensure the safe operation of these devices. In recent years, heat and mass transfer in microchannels has been considered as an effective way to solve these thermal management problems. Due to their compact structures, large specific surface areas and good performances in terms of heat transfer, more and more researchers are starting to pay attention to microchannel heat sinks. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on new developments in heat and mass transfer enhancement in microchannels. Research on various active and passive heat transfer technologies is encouraged for this Special Issue, such as (1) phase change heat transfer, (2) single-phase convection heat transfer, (3) microchannel fabrication and manufacturing technologies, (4) new working fluid, and (5) external force fields.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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. Micromachines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
