Overview

Top Research Topics at Case Studies in Thermal Engineering?

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering focuses largely on the fields of Mechanics, Heat transfer, Nanofluid, Thermal and Composite material. Research on Mechanics presented in Case Studies in Thermal Engineering focuses, in particular, on Nusselt number, Reynolds number, Fluid dynamics, Flow (psychology) and Heat flux. While work presented in Case Studies in Thermal Engineering provided substantial information on Heat transfer, it also covered topics in Turbulence and Heat exchanger.

Some problems in Nanofluid that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Volume fraction, Thermal conductivity, Convection and Thermal radiation. Topics in Thermal were tackled in line with various other fields like Nuclear engineering and Thermal efficiency.

  • Mechanics (37.92%)
  • Heat transfer (26.09%)
  • Nanofluid (18.16%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • Heat transfer through heat exchanger using Al2O3 nanofluid at different concentrations (146 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 11.57% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 28.38% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 6.47% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 17.06% of all publications and 48.09% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

For those interested in expanding their skills beyond traditional on-campus studies in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, various online degree options offer flexibility and accessibility. Many universities now provide mechanical engineering degree programs online, making it easier for students to balance education with personal and professional commitments.

Additionally, online education is becoming increasingly inclusive. Resources highlighting online colleges that accept felons demonstrate that individuals with past convictions have viable pathways to pursue engineering and other careers through accredited programs, breaking barriers to re-entry into the workforce.

Online degrees also cater to diverse age groups. For instance, the list of degrees for seniors includes options suitable for lifelong learners who seek to gain new skills or pivot to exciting career opportunities later in life.

While distinct from engineering, fields like psychology also benefit from online learning. Prospective students can explore accredited mental health programs such as online psyd programs accredited to advance their careers without GRE barriers. This illustrates how online education supports a broad spectrum of professional goals.
