The TSE's editorial team has recently undergone a reorganization and is pleased to introduce a new editorial board team. This team includes four co-editors-in-chief, two associate editors, and 44 editorial board members.

The new editorial board will guide the editorial team in advancing the journal's success in the future.

Over the last six years, the journal has grown significantly in all respects. The journal office, which is continually striving to improve the editorial process, has updated the appropriate editorial and publishing policies. Thermal Science and Engineering (TSE) requests that all individuals, including writers, readers, editors, and reviewers, read them carefully and thoroughly.

If you have any questions, please contact the journal office at editorial@enpress-publisher.com.

Grateful for the invaluable assistance and unwavering support from our editors, authors, reviewers, and the scholarly community of Thermal Science and Engineering (TSE), we are pleased to announce that after six years of growth and establishing a solid readership and authorship base, TSE will transition to a quarterly publication schedule. This means that from 2024 onwards, we will release four issues annually in March, June, September, and December.

We cordially invite our readers and authors to stay tuned for this exciting development.

Before submitting to our online submission system, please carefully check that your manuscript has been prepared in accordance with the step-by-step instructions. The guide and the EnPress Manuscript Submission Template are updated and prepared specifically for those who are going to contribute or edit the manuscripts to be published in Thermal Science and Engineering since 2024 Volume 7 Issue 1.

We are pleased to announce that 2023 Volume 6, Issue 1 is published online, please click here for more details.

Please follow the journal's author guideline and the required article template to prepare your manuscript.

Thanks to all the authors and reviewers!

For the sake of academic fairness, all authors are required to declare all activities that have the potential to be deemed as a source of competing interest in relations to their submitted manuscript. Examples of such activities could include personal or work-related relationships, events, etc. Authors who have nothing to declare are encouraged to add "The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest" in this section. A declaration of interests for all authors should be received before an article can be reviewed and accepted for the publication. As the authors, editors or reviewers, they also are required to declare the conflict of interest in academy.

The publication frequency of Thermal Science and Engineering (TSE) is semi-annual. All articles that have been accepted will be online in time without delay. We welcome the high-quality original articles significant in all disciplines of thermal energy transport, thermodynamics, thermal medical systems, and devices, etc.

Aims & Scope

Thermal Science and Engineering (TSE) is an international open access journal that publishes high-quality articles that span activities ranging from fundamental thermodynamic scientific research to the applied discussion of maximising thermodynamic efficiencies and minimising all heat losses. Topics cover thermal biology, nanotechnology, thermal energy transport, thermodynamics, thermal medical systems, and devices, etc.

Wind and solar farms are known to have local effects on heat, humidity and other factors that may be beneficial -- or detrimental -- to the regions in which they are situated. A new climate-modeling study finds that a massive wind and solar installation in the Sahara Desert and neighboring Sahel would increase local temperature, precipitation and vegetation. Overall, the researchers report, the effects would likely benefit the region.

From airplane wings to overhead powerlines to the giant blades of wind turbines, a buildup of ice can cause problems ranging from impaired performance all the way to catastrophic failure. But preventing that buildup usually requires energy-intensive heating systems or chemical sprays that are environmentally harmful. Now, MIT researchers have developed a completely passive, solar-powered way of combating ice buildup.

Reduced entropy in a three-dimensional lattice of super-cooled, laser-trapped atoms could help speed progress toward creating quantum computers. A team of researchers at Penn State can rearrange a randomly distributed array of atoms into neatly organized blocks, thus performing the function of a "Maxwell's demon" -- a thought experiment from the 1870s that challenged the second law of thermodynamics. The organized blocks of atoms could form the basis for a quantum computer that uses uncharged atoms to encode data and perform calculations. A paper describing the research appears September 6, 2018 in the journal Nature.
