Thermal Science

Aims & Scope

In the journal Thermal Science you can publish original scientific papers, previous communications, reviews and professional papers, as well as short reviews of new books and scientific meetings in the fields of fundamental thermal sciences (fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, combustion, thermodynamics, chemical processes), important for thermal and chemical engineering, process engineering, energy and power engineering and ecology, and related engineering fields.

Following modern trends, besides classical problems of turbulent flow, heat or mass transfer, and combustion, the journal Thermal Science started to cover many new engineering topics: biomass combustion, energy efficiency and sustainable development, use of renewable energy sources, heat and mass transfer in fires, thermodynamic optimization of the processes using entropy generation minimization, and many others (fluid flow and heat transfer in nanotechnologies, heat transfer in electronic systems, flow, heat transfer and combustion in internal combustion engines, magneto hydrodynamics, heat transfer and processes in buildings, etc.).
