AbstractHeat transfer science plays a fundamental role in various industrial sectors, including energy generation, electronics cooling, and aerospace engineering. As industries advance, the need for more efficient, sustainable, and innovative heat transfer solutions becomes increasingly vital. This special issue, Advances in Heat Transfer Science: Enhanced Techniques for Modern Industrial Applications, presents cutting-edge research on innovative heat transfer solutions, focusing on nanofluids, phase change materials (PCMs), solar energy systems, heat exchangers, and computational modeling. Contributions highlight the use of nanofluids and hybrid nanofluids to enhance thermal performance in various geometries, the integration of PCMs for thermal energy storage, and the optimization of solar energy systems through advanced cooling techniques. Additionally, studies on heat exchangers, thermal management systems, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provide insights into geometric modifications, passive and active cooling methods, and numerical modeling for improved thermal performance. By exploring the interplay of magnetic fields, fluid dynamics, and geometric configurations, this issue offers a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in heat transfer science, paving the way for more efficient, sustainable, and innovative industrial applications.
