Submissions

As a follow-up to the 28th THERMINIC Workshop, held in Dublin in September 2022, a Special Section of IEEE TCPMT will be edited by Prof. Tim Persoons and Prof. Lorenzo Codecasa.

This Special Section aims to present some of the latest advances in thermal fluids and thermomechanical research for electronics cooling applications, from numerical multi-physics modelling and thermal characterisation methods to novel approaches for enhanced convective cooling, new developments in materials, and reliability assessment.

These technologies apply to an ever-wider range of target thermal management applications, including large-scale cooling of servers and cloud data storage, power electronics and batteries for electric vehicles, solid-state lighting, IoT and edge computing devices and infrastructure.

This Special Section will be inviting selected papers from the 28th THERMINIC Workshop but is also open to spontaneous submissions from any THERMINIC participant or others who want to contribute to this topic.

Please contact one of the editors (Prof. Tim Persoons, tim.persoons@tcd.ie or Prof. Lorenzo Codecasa, lorenzo.codecasa@polimi.it) if you are interested.

Some important points to note:

• Papers that were presented at THERMINIC must be revised and contain at least 60% new material that has never been presented before.
• Authors should meet IEEE TCPMT requirements for conversion of a conference paper into Transactions papers: https://eps.ieee.org/publications/ieee-transactions-on-cpmt/information-and-resources-for-authors.html.
• There is no publication fee, however the final paper is limited to 8 pages in print. Charges apply for any pages in excess of the 8-page limit (see https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/your-role-in-article-production/about-potential-article-processing-charges/).
• Authors may opt for their article to be published as Open Access for an additional fee. However, several universities have agreements in place with IEEE to facilitate free Open Access rights for their employees or students.
• Use the template provided for guidance on the page count.
