Description: This special topic volume captures a snapshot of the last research results of mass and thermal transfer processes in materials and engineering systems currently under extensive investigation worldwide. The breadth of utilization of the mass and thermal transfer processes in engineering is reflected in the correspondingly wide range of topics covered here. Topics range from the research in atomic-scale right up to the macro scale, from basic research on properties right through to actual engineering applications, from hydrogen diffusion in a Pd-Cu alloy membrane to investigating the water-oil separation process.

Description: This volume of Diffusion Foundations is entitled Advances in Mass and Thermal Transport in Engineering Materials. The volume was designed to capture a very wide cross-section of research in the area in both experimental and modelling of mass and thermal transport and at both basic and applied levels. It is now very well recognized that the mass and thermal transport processes in engineering materials underpin much of the advance in the development of new materials and the improvement of existing materials. Whether it be the ongoing enhancement of the engineering properties of materials, the materials processing, the in-service longevity of materials or the recycling of materials, mass and thermal transport very frequently play direct and essential roles.

Description: Research on mass and thermal transport in engineering materials continues to be a rapidly expanding major area of materials science and engineering. It is an exciting area. It is clear that gaining an in-depth understanding of mass and thermal transport underpins the major breakthroughs needed in the development of new materials for new technologies and the improvement of existing materials in service. This topical volume, which is entitled “Recent Progress in Mass Transport in Engineering Materials”, was designed to capture a very wide and significant cross section of contemporary international research on mass and thermal transport. It ranges from basic strategic research through to quite applied areas. This volume spans, for example, the modelling of multiphase fluid flow in porous media for enhanced oil recovery to heat transfer in fixed bed reactors, from the modelling of the drying processes to the growing of indium oxide thin films. We thank the authors for their participation in this volume and the reviewers for their time and efforts.

Description: Engineering systems and materials do experience heating or cooling of some kind during operation. Modelling and theoretical analysis of heat transfer problems will enhance the functional success of the materials and enable new product development in engineering. The special issue on “Engineering Fluid Flows and Heat Transfer Analysis” of the journal “Diffusion Foundations” presents some novel theoretical analysis of various engineering heat transfer problems. Topics covered in this special issue include reactive fluid flow, magnetohydrodynamics, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid flow, natural convection, forced convection, mixed convection, porous media flow, and thermal radiation absorption effects.
