Abstract
This Editorial introduces a Special Issue of Applied Thermal Engineering dedicated to selected articles from the 10th World Conference on Experimental Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics (ExHFT-10), held in Rhodes, Greece, in August 2024. The conference gathered 183 participants from 28 countries, and featured a rich scientific programme, including 21 oral presentation sessions, a poster session, 5 plenary and 8 keynote lectures. Of the 165 articles (125 oral and 40 poster contributions) presented at the conference, 14 articles were selected for publication in this Special Issue following peer review; these represent a curated sample of high-quality contributions addressing fundamental transport phenomena, innovative thermal management concepts, advanced materials, and emerging energy technologies. Together, these articles demonstrate the central role of experimentation in advancing physical understanding, validating models, and enabling engineering design. They also reveal clear research trends, including multi-scale analysis, integration of materials science with thermal engineering and increased focus on sustainable energy systems. This Special Issue aims to provide readers with both a concise overview of current developments and a forward-looking perspective on future directions in thermal science and engineering.
