International Journal of Energy and Thermal Applications

The International Journal of Energy and Thermal Applications is a peer-reviewed hybrid open-access journal launched in 2023 that publishes original, high-quality research and review papers that are capable of triggering a domino effect in the field of mechanical engineering and also supports the practical application of the established research that forms the core of the subject. The journal covers all major topics in thermal energy applications, ranging from thermal and non-thermal processes to ocean thermal energy. The journal aims to unroll the scroll of recent advancements and applications that can prove to be an asset in building a strong backbone on the subject matter.
