The purpose and scope of the International Journal of Thermodynamics is · to provide a forum for the publication of original theoretical and applied work in the field of thermodynamics as it relates to systems, states, processes, and both non-equilibrium and equilibrium phenomena at all temporal and spatial scales. · to provide a multidisciplinary and international platform for the dissemination to academia and industry of both scientific and engineering contributions, which touch upon a broad class of disciplines that are foundationally linked to thermodynamics and the methods and analyses derived there from. · to assess how both the first and particularly the second laws of thermodynamics touch upon these disciplines. · to highlight innovative & pioneer research in the field of thermodynamics in the following subjects (but not limited to the following, novel research in new areas are strongly suggested): o Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory. o Thermodynamics in process intensification. o Biothermodynamics (topics such as self-organization far from equilibrium etc.) o Thermodynamics of nonadditive systems. o Nonequilibrium thermal complex systems. o Sustainable design and thermodynamics. o Engineering thermodynamics. o Energy.
