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. The journal, thus, provides 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. A common thread throughout is that of assessing how both the first and particularly the second laws of thermodynamics touch upon these disciplines. Please submit innovative & pioneer thermodynamics research in the following subjects, here (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
