Dear Colleagues,

Since the urgent need in reducing the carbon emissions and controlling the global climate change is taken into consideration, the efficiency improvement of energy conversion is greatly significant, especially the efficiency in each process of energy conversion. Heat transfer and its corresponding thermal performance, as one of the most important forms in energy conversion process, is widely applied in solar air heater, nuclear reactor, gas turbine and electrical component. In this case, energy conversion and advanced thermal performance is a promising topic in energy consumption reduction, sustainable energy utilization, energy conversation and storage. Scientific and technological research studies on energy conversion, advanced heat transfer, heat exchanger devices, energy generation and storage, low emission combustion are all welcome.

Manuscripts should be submitted online through the online manuscript submission and editorial system. Additionally, please include a cover letter specifying that the manuscript is intended for the Topical Collection "Energy Conversion and Advanced Thermal Performance" when submitting it online. Manuscripts can be submitted until the submission deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal and will be listed together on the Topical Collection website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract can be sent to the Editorial Office neea@ukscip.com for announcement on this website.

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 300 USD. Authors who are unable to cover this cost or those who are invited to submit papers may be eligible for discounts or waivers.

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 double-blind peer-review process.
