Summary
Heat and mass transfer play a vital role in a bunch of scientific and engineering applications, including the thermal management of electronic devices, energy conversion for sustainable heating and cooling technologies, chemical reaction engineering, etc. In recent decades, significant advancements have been made in investigating and manipulating the mass and thermal transport for different scenarios and scales. However, complex mass and heat transfer problems continue to pose numerous challenges, e.g., persistent difficulties that traditional analytical, computational, or experimental approaches struggle to address. Machine learning and data-driven modeling have emerged as promising and powerful tools for overcoming these challenges, offering new opportunities for tackling complex heat and mass transfer phenomena. This special issue aims to present and discuss the latest advances in the development and application of machine learning and data-driven modeling techniques in the field of mass and thermal transport.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
1. Artificial intelligence techniques for heat and mass transfer applications;
2. Development of machine learning algorithms for modeling multi-phase heat and mass transfer processes;
3. Machine learning for diffusion mass transfer and heat conduction;
4. Machine learning for convective mass and heat transfer;
5. Acquisition and standardization of data related to thermal and mass transfer processes;
6. Construction of Data-driven models for solving mass and thermal transport problems;
7. Novel and efficient surrogate models for heat transfer and multi-phase mass transfer;
8. Machine learning data analysis for complex fluid dynamics with thermal or mass transport measurements.
