About this Research Topic
We are now entering the third decade of the 21st Century, and in recent years, the achievements made by scientists have been exceptional, leading to major advancements in the still-growing field of Thermal Engineering.
Frontiers has organized this Research Topics to highlight the latest advancements in research across the field of Thermal Engineering in celebration of the first anniversary of the Frontiers in Thermal Engineering title. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Professor Xianguo Li, Field Chief Editor, together with Dr. G Huminic, Dr. N Nasruddin, and Dr. M Bayareh is focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Thermal Engineering.
The Research Topic solicits brief, forward-looking contributions that describe the state of the art, outlining recent developments and major accomplishments that have been achieved and that need to occur to move the field forward. Authors are encouraged to identify the greatest challenges in the journal sub-disciplines, and how to address those challenges.
A discussion of some of these topics and relevant references can be found in this Field Grand Challenge article.
The goal of this special edition Research Topic is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade in the field, and on its future challenges to provide a thorough overview of the field. This article collection will inspire, inform and provide direction and guidance to researchers in the field.
