Applied Thermal Engineering publishes original, high-quality research papers and ancillary features, spanning activities ranging from fundamental research to trouble-shooting in existing plant and equipment.
System design covers energy use both in buildings, including passive thermal design techniques, and in the process industries. For the latter, the design problems associated with the integration of components into overall plant are also covered.
The journal will feature aspects of the thermal engineering of advanced processes, including process integration, intensification and development, together with the application of thermal equipment in conventional process plant, which includes its use for heat recovery.
A wide range of equipment will be relevant to Applied Thermal Engineering, such as heat exchangers (compact and advanced designs), heat pumps and refrigeration plant, heat pipes, combined heat and power and advanced cycles, heat transfer enhancement as applied to the above, and other unit operations involving thermal engineering procedures.
Economics plays a necessary role in the assessment of many thermal engineering projects. Submissions devoted to or considering the financial implications of equipment designs are welcome. Information on the different economic criteria applying in particular regions of the world is also relevant here.
Additional regular features include:
• review articles on important or developing technologies
• special issues devoted to significant international conferences or seminars
• book reviews
• patent surveys
• policy and legislation reports
Applied Thermal Engineering provides essential reference material and critical design feedback, with emphasis on thermal technologies as applied in the built environment and the process industries. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
