Summary

We are pleased to invite submissions for a Special Issue of FHMT-Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer focused on “Heat Transfer Analysis and Optimization in Energy Systems.”


Recent breakthroughs in both numerical and experimental approaches have significantly advanced our understanding of flow and heat transfer in various engineering applications, including electronic equipment, solar energy collectors, building insulation systems, etc. Accurate prediction of heat transfer in energy systems is very important and, as a result, significant research activity has been devoted to this topic. The purpose of this special issue is to present a series of research articles focusing on innovative, cutting-edge technologies, related to heat transfer analysis and optimization in energy systems.


Topics of interest for this Special Issue include (but are not limited to):

· Convective heat transfer in single-phase and multiphase flow;

· Flow/heat transfer mechanisms in the microscale;

· Active and passive cooling systems in electronics and power engineering;

· Experimental and numerical studies on thermal energy device design and optimization;

· Bio-heat transfer;

· Topology optimization of energy devices.


We welcome numerical, theoretical, and experimental contributions, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and innovative research.

    Simulation of Temperature Field in Oil-Based Drill Cuttings Pyrolysis Furnace for Shale Gas

    Pu Liu, Guangwei Bai, Wei Li, Chuanhua Ge
    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2025.070378
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Heat Transfer Analysis and Optimization in Energy Systems)
    Abstract To address the issue of uneven temperature distribution in shale gas oil-based drill cuttings pyrolysis furnaces, a numerical model was developed using Fluent software. The effects of nitrogen flow rate, heating tube spacing, and furnace dimensions on the internal temperature field were thoroughly analyzed from a mechanistic perspective. The results indicated that non-uniform radiation from the heating tubes and flow disturbances induced by the nitrogen stream were the primary causes of localized heat concentration. Under no-load conditions, the maximum deviation between simulated and on-site measured temperatures was 1.5%, validating the model’s accuracy. Furthermore, this study More >

    Analytical Modeling of Internal Thermal Mass: Transient Heat Conduction in a Sphere under Constant, Exponential, and Periodic Ambient Temperatures

    Liangjian Lei, Yihang Lu
    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2025.072643
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Heat Transfer Analysis and Optimization in Energy Systems)
    Abstract Internal thermal mass, such as furniture and partitions, plays a crucial role in enhancing building energy efficiency and indoor thermal comfort by passively regulating temperature fluctuations. However, the irregular geometry of these elements poses a significant challenge for accurate modeling in building energy simulations. This study addresses this gap by developing a rigorous analytical model that idealizes internal thermal mass as a sphere, thereby capturing multi-directional heat conduction effects that are neglected in simpler one-dimensional slab models. The transient heat conduction within the sphere is solved analytically using Duhamel’s theorem for three representative indoor air… More >

    Two-Dimensional Mathematical Modeling of Gas Hydrate Dissociation with a Nonlinear Forchheimer-Type Filtration Law

    Ahmed Bakeer, Grigory Kazakevich, Viktoriia Podryga, Yury Poveshchenko, Parvin Rahimly
    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.23, No.5, pp. 1575-1593, 2025, DOI:10.32604/fhmt.2025.067097
    (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Heat Transfer Analysis and Optimization in Energy Systems)
    Abstract The work considers the problem of gas hydrate dissociation in a porous medium using the two-term Forchheimer law, corresponding to high flow rates of reservoir fluids. Such rates can arise during the decomposition of gas hydrates, since a large amount of gas is released. Intensive emissions of gases from the earth’s interior are observed on the ocean floor. They are also associated with a large number of subvertical geological structures under the ocean floor, coming to the surface in the form of local ring funnels (pockmarks). Many similar objects have also been found on land.… More >
