Special Issue Information
Recent applications in nanotechnology have allowed the development of a new category of fluids termed nanofluids. A nanofluid refers to the suspension of nano-size particles, which are suspended in the base fluid with low thermal conductivity. The base fluid, or dispersing medium, can be aqueous or non-aqueous in nature. Due to the suspension of nanoparticles, one can increase the heat transfer coefficient and consequently enhance the heat transfer value and performance of base fluids. Nanofluids also strengthen solar energy applications, such as heat exchanger design, and some medical applications, including cancer therapy and safer surgery, by heat treatment. Investigations on entropy in nanofluid could be based on numerical/analytical simulations or experimental data that extend the bounds of existing methodologies to new contributions addressing current challenges and engineering problems. The submitted manuscripts must be related with entropy generation in complex and simple fluid models. Furthermore, exergy analysis and entropy generation in different systems, i.e., heat exchangers with distinct sizes from micro- to conventional and renewable energy devices are welcome.
Potential topics dealing with (but not limited to) the following subheadings are deemed suitable for publication:
- Theoretical advancement and measurements of entropy in nanofluid flows;
- Theoretical advancement and measurements of entropy in nanofluid flow-enhanced phase change materials;
- Numerical simulation related to potential applications;
- New innovative areas of entropy in nanofluid flows in engineering;
- Critical assessments and future directions of entropy;
- Entropy generation through porous media;
- Nanomaterial and nanofluid preparation and characterization (nanoparticles, nanofluids, nanoPCM, nanosalts, ionanofluids, etc.) with entropy generation;
- Entropy generation and MHD flows.
Our aim is for this Special Issue to provide an overall picture and up-to-date findings to readers of the scientific community that ultimately benefit the industrial sector regarding its specific market niches and end users.

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. Entropy 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.
