Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Micro process engineering is the science of conducting chemical or physical processes inside conduits or other structures with sub-millimeter dimensions, typically inside channels with characteristic dimension of less than 1 mm. These processes are carried out in continuous flow mode, as opposed to batch production, allowing for a throughput high enough to make micro process engineering an efficient tool for chemical production.
This Special Issue of Micromachines aims to be a forum for scientists and engineers from academia and industry to present and discuss recent developments in the field of micro equipment design. We invite papers that tackle, either numerically (computational fluid dynamics studies) or experimentally, problems concerning the design of micro equipment. Contributions may focus on, but are not limited to, problems associated with the design and construction of novel micro equipment (e.g., micro mixers, micro reactors, and micro heat exchangers) and the use of non-intrusive experimental techniques.
Prof. Dr. Aikaterini A. Mouza

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
