Introduction
International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer serves as a world forum for the rapid dissemination of new ideas, new measurement techniques, preliminary findings of ongoing investigations, discussions, and criticisms in the field of heat and mass transfer. Two types of manuscript will be considered for publication: communications (short reports of new work or discussions of work which has already been published) and summaries (abstracts of reports, theses or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full). Together with its companion publication, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, with which it shares the same Board of Editors, this journal is read by research workers and engineers throughout the world.
Types of paper
Two types of manuscripts will be considered for publication in International Communications in Heat and Mass Transfer: (1) COMMUNICATIONS: These are either short reports of new work, or discussions of work which has already been published. Authors are asked to limit their COMMUNICATIONS to 14 pages, including diagrams. (2) SUMMARIES: These are abstracts of reports, theses, or manuscripts which are too long for publication in full. Such SUMMARIES (not more than six typewritten pages in length), will be published only if the original (full length) report is available, either from the author, or, at cost of photo reproduction, from the publisher. A SUMMARY should, therefore, be submitted with one copy of the original document, and a statement to the effect that reproduction and distribution of copies is permitted. In addition to COMMUNICATIONS and SUMMARIES, special features may be added from time to time.
