本雜志致力于通過傳播原始的研究論文來提高熱物理和熱傳遞的科學和技術，揭示新的技術知識以及基于新知識的探索性發展和應用。該雜志發表了有關熱能在氣體、液體、固體或其組合中傳遞和儲存的性質和機制的合格論文。這些研究包括氣動熱力學；傳導、對流、輻射和多相傳熱模式；微尺度和納米尺度的傳熱；非侵入性診斷；數值和實驗技術；等離子體激發和流動相互作用；熱系統；以及熱物理特性。此外，還將征求對任何先前主題的最新研究進展進行審查的論文。

This Journal is devoted to the advancement of the science and technology of thermophysics and heat transfer through the dissemination of original research papers disclosing new technical knowledge and exploratory developments and applications based on new knowledge. The Journal publishes qualified papers that deal with the properties and mechanisms involved in thermal energy transfer and storage in gases, liquids, and solids or combinations thereof. These studies include aerothermodynamics; conductive, convective, radiative, and multiphase modes of heat transfer; micro- and nano-scale heat transfer; nonintrusive diagnostics; numerical and experimental techniques; plasma excitation and flow interactions; thermal systems; and thermophysical properties. Papers that review recent research developments in any of the prior topics are also solicited.
