Thermodynamics journals serves as a universal publication organ for new concepts, results on non-equilibrium phenomena in science and engineering. The central aim of the journal is to supply a bridge between science and engineering and to market scientific exchange on a) newly observed non-equilibrium phenomena, b) analytic or numeric modeling for his or her interpretation, c) vanguard methods to explain non-equilibrium phenomena. Contributions should – among others – present innovative approaches to analyzing, modeling and optimizing processes of engineering relevance such as transport procedures of mass, momentum and energy, separation of fluid phases, reproduction of living cells, or energy conversion. The journal is particularly interested in contributions which add to the basic understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena in science and engineering, with systems of interest ranging from the macro- to the nano-level.
