Dear Colleagues,

Symmetry is one of the most significant concepts in industrial thermo-fluid engineering. This idea is used in many thermal, hydraulic, and heat transfer applications, most of which are in the industrial field.

The development of theoretical as well as applied fundamental research in industrial heat transfer, such as heat exchangers, combustion, and the thermal analysis of equipment by experimental, numerical simulation, and analytical methods is welcome. Contributions are encouraged to include original research on heat transfer in equipment, thermal systems, thermodynamic processes, nanotechnology, biotechnology, energy analysis, and related topics.

This Special Issue will cover a wide range of thermo-fluid processes in heat transfer applications, providing a guideline for academics and industries. This will present novel examples of heat transfer applications, which will provide a valuable resource for academics and engineers undertaking research in industrial engineering, ; modeling of solutions across a wide range of industrial applications are encouraged.

The aim of the present Special Issue is to cover the complete discipline of heat transfer in relation to engineering thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, publish results from basic research, as well as engineering applications, such as heat exchangers, processes, and chemical engineering, in addition to covering experimental techniques, as well as analytical and computational approaches.

We are soliciting contributions (research and review articles) covering a broad range of topics on the “Application of Symmetry in Heat Transfer”, including (though not limited to) the following:

• HVAC and heat transfer;
• Laminar and turbulent flow;
• Boundary layer and free surface flows;
• Industrial fluid mechanics;
• Thermal-fluids machinery;
• Combustion and reacting flows;
• Multiphase flows;
• Computational fluid dynamics;
• Heat exchanger design and analysis.

Please note that all submissions should be full in the scope of Symmetry Journal.

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. Symmetry 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 2400 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.
