Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer Research

The Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer Research is an international, bi-annual publication (both in print and online) established in 2013 by Semnan University Press. The journal disseminates cutting-edge and innovative research findings in the domain of heat and mass transfer. This encompasses various subfields including conduction, convection, radiation, phase change phenomena, heat exchanger design and testing, nuclear reactors, geothermal heat recovery, and alternative energy systems. Additionally, it covers emerging technologies such as Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), micro-channels, fuel cells, bio- and nano-technology, transport in porous media, ice formation and melting, reactor design, microreactors, multiphase reactors, multiscale modeling, and gas-solid reactions, as well as heat transfer in machinery and welding operations.

The Journal encourages contributions that facilitate the exchange of ideas and foster scholarly dialogue between practitioners, educators, and researchers in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering globally. The journal’s scope includes peer-reviewed original research articles, technical reports, review papers, short communications, and editorial notes. It welcomes high-quality research papers and reviews on any aspect of heat and mass transfer, whether theoretical, numerical, or experimental. The journal is published in English, with accepted papers available online immediately and subsequently in print.

We are pleased to inform you that, following the recent approval of the Editorial Board and the relevant authorities, the publication frequency of the journal will change from Semiannual to Quarterly, effective January 2026. This decision is intended to enhance the journal’s scientific quality, expedite the publication process, and strengthen dynamic engagement among researchers and authors.
