Aims and Scope. Experimental Heat Transfer provides a forum for high quality research articles and communications in the general area of heat-mass transfer and the related fluid dynamics, with an experimental component or entirely reporting experimental research. In addition to the established multifaceted areas of thermal energy conversion and transport that are intimately connected to heat transfer related research, it is an important goal of the journal to communicate contributions from new and emerging areas of research such as micro- and nanoscale science and technology, life sciences and biomedical engineering,manufacturing processes, materials science and engineering, etc. In all these areas hear transfer plays an important role, in particular in the form of innovative experiments and systems for direct measurements and analysis, as well to verify or complement theoretical models. All contributions to the journal add to the knowledge base in heat transfer from the standpoint of fundamentals or applications. All papers are thoroughly peer refereed.
Submission of Manuscripts. Experimental Heat Transfer receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their ScholarOne Manuscripts website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ueht . ScholarOne Manuscripts allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform. For ScholarOne Manuscripts technical support, you may contact them by e-mail or phone support via http://scholarone.com/services/support/. If you have any other requests please contact the journal at dimos.poulikakos@ethz.ch.
Nomenclature. A separate nomenclature section at the end of the manuscript should list in detail the symbols used in the manuscript, their definitions, and their units. The nomenclature list should be in alphabetical order with Greek symbols following the alphabetical listing. Subscripts and superscripts should follow Greek symbols and should be identified with a heading. Units should be included only when necessary for the understanding of the textual material. To indicate units involving fractions, slashes should be used (e.g., thermal conductivity,W/mK, density, kg/M3). The S1 system should be used throughout, with the appropriate prefixes (see below). Wherever possible, the nomenclature should follow that described in Glossary of Terms in Heat Transfer, Fluid, Flow, and Related Topics byW. Begell (Hemisphere Publishing Corporation, 1983).
References. References to cited literature should be identified in the text in square brackets and grouped at the end of the paper in numerical order of appearance. Double-spaced typing must be used throughout. References should be styled and punctuated according to the following examples:

Equations. All mathematical equations should be carefully typewritten and checked so that a typesetter can follow the copy easily. Equation numbers should he Arabic numerals enclosed in parentheses on the right-hand margin. They should be cited in the text as, for example, Eq. (10), or Eqs. (12)-(16).
Illustrations. Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines:
-
300 dpi or higher
-
sized to fit on journal page
-
EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only
-
submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files
Color Reproduction. Color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in color art reproduction. Color art can be purchased for online only conversion and reproduction or for print + online reproduction. Color reprints can only be ordered if print + online reproduction costs are paid. Rates for color art reproduction are: Online Only Reproduction: $225 for the first page of color; $100 per page for the next three pages of color. A maximum charge of $525 applies. Print + Online Reproduction: $900 for the first page of color; $450 per page for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than 4 pages of color.
Tables and Figures. Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated.
Page Charges. Part of the publication cost is covered by a page charge of $22.00 per printed page. If these charges are paid, the author will receive 50 reprints of the article. The acceptance and publication of papers are not dependent on the payment of these charges.
