Summary
In the international context of energy crisis and climate change, the study of multiscale heat and mass transfer plays a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of energy conversion technologies. Heat and mass transfer, as one of the fundamental process of energy conversion, is widespread and an essential factor for the devices of energy generation, utilization, and storage. It means that exploring new physical understanding of multiscale heat and mass transfer serves as an attractive topic in future energy and thermal research.
This Special Issue aims to present the advances in multiscale heat and mass transfer and energy conversion. Topics include but are not limited to:
• Modelling of multiscale heat and mass transfer;
• Thermal management for energy storage system;
• Advanced thermodynamic cycle system;
• Novel thermal material for energy conversion;
• Renewable energy utilization;
• Efficient heat-exchanger device design;
• Waste heat recovery;
• Combined heat and power generation;
• Combustion mechanism and kinetics;
• Thermal control of nuclear reactor.
