Thermal Engineering

Thermal Engineering is a peer-reviewed journal of thermal energy and engineering, published from Moscow by Pleiades Publishing and carried on the Springer Nature Link platform. It has run without a break since 1954 and works at the meeting point of engineering thermodynamics and heat and mass transfer.《热工程》是一份聚焦热能与工程的同行评议期刊，由莫斯科的 Pleiades Publishing 出版，在 Springer Nature Link 平台上承载。该刊自 1954 年起连续刊行，学科位置落在工程热力学与传热传质的交点上。

Twelve issues appear each year, and the 2025 citation report gives an impact factor of 1.3 with a five year value of 0.9. The title is indexed in the Emerging Sources Citation Index and its fourth quartile place sits in thermodynamics at 63 of 78.该刊每年出 12 期，2025 年的引证报告给出影响因子 1.3，五年值为 0.9。该刊被新兴来源引文索引收录，第四区位置落在热力学类目，78 种里排第 63。

Access runs by subscription with a small open access option alongside it, the editorial office sits in Moscow, and the board of about two dozen specialists comes mostly from Russia. The editor-in-chief is Aleksey V. Dedov.访问以订阅为主，另配有规模不大的开放获取选项，编辑部设在莫斯科，编委约二十四人，多数出自俄罗斯。主编是 Aleksey V. Dedov。

Scope

• The stated remit is broad within its own field. The journal calls itself a peer-reviewed title focused on thermal energy and engineering, and it publishes original research articles together with critical reviews.自述的定位在自己的领域里相当宽。刊物称自己是一份聚焦热能与工程的同行评议刊物，刊出原创研究论文与批判性综述。

• Power engineering equipment sits at the centre, with the current state and the future prospects of energy development, design and operation examined as one question. Thermal and nuclear power plants both fall inside that frame.动力工程设备处在核心位置，能源的开发与设计以及运行的现状和前景被当作一个问题来考察。火电与核电站都在这个框架之内。

• Energy conservation is named as a line of work in its own right. A study of the heat losses in an installation and a scheme for recovering those losses from the same equipment both belong to it.节能被单独列为一条工作线。厂内热损失的研究与从同一套设备回收这些损失的方案都归在其中。

• Pollution control appears beside it, with papers that treat the formation of harmful emissions inside a boiler or their capture at the stack.污染控制与之并列，论文处理锅炉中有害排放物的形成，或者烟囱端的捕集。

• The theoretical foundations of heat engineering form a third pillar, and a paper setting out a new relation between the properties of a working fluid is read against that background.热工程的理论基础构成第三根支柱，推导工质物性之间新关系的论文都放在这个背景下读。

• Renewable sources come next, hydropower being the case the description names in particular. A scheme that couples a river plant with energy storage is typical of the work described here.接下来是可再生能源，自述中特别点到水力这一项。把河流水电站与储能耦合起来的方案是这类工作的典型。

• Underneath these subjects sits a way of treating problems that the platform description states plainly. Heat transfer and thermodynamics are applied to systems and processes in which energy is converted, transferred, stored and used.这些题目之下还有一层处理问题的方式，平台上的介绍写得很直白，把传热与热力学用到能量被转换与传递以及储存和使用的系统与过程上。

• Non-traditional heat sources belong to the same family, the description naming them among the themes covered, and a paper on a new heat source is set against the conventional ones.非常规热源属于同一族，介绍把它们列在覆盖的主题之中，有关新型热源的论文正是放在常规热源的对照下写的。

• An international purpose is stated plainly, and submissions from authors around the world are welcomed, which the record of recent issues bears out. Contributions arrive from China, from Korea and from further afield.刊物把国际化的目的写在明处，欢迎世界各地作者的投稿，近年的卷期记录也印证了这一点。稿件来自中国与韩国以及更远的地方。

• The platform files the journal under two subjects, engineering thermodynamics and heat and mass transfer, and that pair of headings is a fair summary of what the pages carry.平台把该刊归入两个学科，工程热力学与传热传质，这组标题与实际刊出的内容相当吻合。

• Recent issues show how far the scope reaches into practice. One paper drives a burner with a neural network, and another watches the condition of a drum boiler through algorithms built on paraconsistent annotated logic.近几期显示范围伸进实践有多深。一篇论文用神经网络驱动燃烧器，另一篇用次协调标注逻辑构造的算法监测汽包状态。

• Materials work has a place too. The thermal conductivity of a graphene and paraffin composite used as a phase change material is measured, and a compressor flow path is modelled under icing conditions in adverse weather.材料方面的研究也有位置。石墨烯与石蜡复合相变材料的热导率有人去测，压气机流道在恶劣天气结冰条件下的情形则靠建模处理。

• Energy systems at the scale of a whole installation close the range. One article treats complexes built on hydropower resources that can store energy during operation as part of autonomous power supply systems.整个装置尺度的能源系统收住了这个范围。有篇文章处理以水力资源为基础的复合体，它能在运行中储能，作为独立供电系统的一部分。

History

• The year of founding is fixed by the volume numbering rather than by any statement on the page. Volume 72 carries 2025 and volume 53 carries 2006, so the first volume belongs to 1954.创刊年份是由卷号定下的，页面上并没有另作说明。第 72 卷对应 2025 年，第 53 卷对应 2006 年，第一卷因此落在 1954 年。

• Nothing interrupts that run. The numbers have climbed by one each year without a gap, and the archive the platform exposes reaches back to volume 53, which opened in January 2006.这条线索中间没有断点。卷号逐年加一，从未跳号，平台上的存档往回追到第 53 卷，即 2006 年 1 月开卷。

• The title began in the Soviet period and was produced in English for readers working in the Russian power industry. The editorial base has stayed in Moscow through every change of publisher.这份刊物起于苏联时期，以英文面世，读者是俄罗斯动力工业里的从业者。编辑部始终留在莫斯科，出版方几度更换而地点未动。

• The imprint on the platform today reads Pleiades Publishing, a house that grew out of the Russian Academy own publishing operation and now issues the journal from Moscow.平台上今天的出版者署名是 Pleiades Publishing，这家机构出自俄罗斯科学院自己的出版系统，如今从莫斯科发行该刊。

• The distribution arrangement has moved on to the Springer Nature Link platform, where every article carries the 10.1007 identifier prefix and one and the same container title. The submission side runs through a Pleiades system of its own.发行安排后来转到 Springer Nature Link 平台，平台上的每篇论文都带 10.1007 前缀，容器题名始终一致。投稿一端则走 Pleiades 自有的系统。

• Twelve numbers a year have been the practice for the whole run the platform documents. Volume 72 covers January to December 2025 with an issue for each month, and the volume for 2006 is arranged the same way.平台所记录的这些年里，每年 12 期是常态。第 72 卷覆盖 2025 年 1 月至 12 月，每月一号，2006 年那一卷的编排方式相同。

• The current volume is 73, which covers January to September 2026 and had reached its ninth issue by the end of that month. The journal keeps a fixed monthly rhythm rather than a rolling queue of articles.当前一卷是第 73 卷，覆盖 2026 年 1 月至 9 月，到该月末已出到第 9 期。该刊保持固定的月刊节奏，不堆积在线优先的稿件。

• The publishing model printed on the platform is Hybrid, with a subscription route and an open access route offered side by side. Gold open access accounts for 1.29 per cent of the output.平台上印出的出版模式是混合，订阅与开放获取两条路子并行。金色开放获取占产出的 1.29%。

• Entry into the Emerging Sources Citation Index brought the title into the wider citation record, where it sits in the fourth quartile of both of its categories. In energy and fuels it ranks 172 of 191, and in thermodynamics 63 of 78.进入新兴来源引文索引之后，该刊进入了更广的引证体系，在两个类目里都落在第四区。能源与燃料类目 191 种里排第 172，热力学类目 78 种里排第 63。

• The impact factor has moved over the last three reports. It read 0.9 in 2023 and 1.0 in 2024 before reaching 1.3 in 2025, and the five year value of 0.9 shows the gain sitting inside a single window.近三份报告里的影响因子在动。2023 年是 0.9，2024 年是 1.0，2025 年到 1.3，五年值仍是 0.9，说明这一段抬升只落在最近一个窗口里。

• The archive is old enough to keep a long memory. Total citations stand at 1197, the cited half-life is 7.1 years, and the journal published 102 articles in the year the report covers.这份存档的年头足够长，引用记忆也长。总被引为 1197 次，引用半衰期 7.1 年，报告覆盖的年份里该刊发表 102 篇文章。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Aleksey V. Dedov, who directs the Institute of Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering at the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, a national research university in the Russian capital.主编是 Aleksey V. Dedov，他主持莫斯科动力工程研究院下属的热工与核动力工程研究所，这所国立研究大学位于俄罗斯首都。

• Aleksei D. Trukhnii is deputy editor-in-chief and a professor at the same institute, so the two senior posts sit in one building on the Russian side.副主编是 Aleksei D. Trukhnii，同样是该研究所的教授，两位资深职务设在同一栋楼里。

• Moscow desk is run by Ol'ga L. Dozhdikova as managing editor, and Irina S. Antanenkova heads the editorial office as associate professor at the same university.莫斯科编辑部由 Ol'ga L. Dozhdikova 担任执行编辑，Irina S. Antanenkova 以该校副教授的身份主持该办公室。

• The editorial board numbers about two dozen members and draws most of its strength from Russian institutions. The Moscow Power Engineering Institute alone supplies several names, and the institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences supply several more.编委约有二十四人，力量多数来自俄罗斯的机构。仅莫斯科动力工程研究院就占了几个名字，俄罗斯科学院各研究所又占了几个。

• The institutions represented cover the working life of power plant equipment. The Keldysh Research Center, the All-Russia heat engineering institute in Moscow, the Joint Institute for High Temperatures and the central boiler and turbine works in Saint Petersburg all appear.名册上的机构覆盖了动力设备的运行现场。凯尔德什研究中心、莫斯科的全俄热工研究所、高温联合研究所以及圣彼得堡的中央锅炉与透平制造厂都在其列。

• Research on the running of nuclear stations is represented by a separate institute in Moscow, and the Siberian branch of the Academy supplies its own energy systems institute in Irkutsk. Tomsk and Ivanovo supply power engineering universities.核电运行方面的研究由莫斯科的一家专门研究所代表，科学院西伯利亚分部在伊尔库茨克设有自己的能源系统研究所。托木斯克与伊万诺沃两地的动力工程院校也在名册上。

• Applied and industrial members sit alongside the academics. A company developing mechanical equipment and a holding company appear, together with a small production firm in Astrakhan.应用与工业界的成员与学者并排坐着。一家研制机械装备的公司与一家控股公司都在名单上，再加上阿斯特拉罕的一家小型生产企业。

• The board reaches outside Russia as well. Pei-Xue Jiang represents Tsinghua University, Weixing Zhou the Harbin Institute of Technology, Ali Kosar Sabanci University in Tuzla, Sergei Sazhin the University of Brighton, and Jiri Soukal a hydraulic research centre in the Czech Republic.编委也伸到俄罗斯之外。Pei-Xue Jiang 代表清华大学，Weixing Zhou 代表哈尔滨工业大学，Ali Kosar 代表土兹拉的 Sabanci 大学，Sergei Sazhin 代表布莱顿大学，Jiri Soukal 代表捷克的一家水力研究中心。

• The recorded lines of work reach from heat and mass transfer to combustion and boiler design, with hydraulic engineering, energy systems and the economics of energy also represented. The degree titles on the masthead mark a senior Russian research qualification.名册上登记的研究方向从传热传质排到燃烧与锅炉设计，水力工程与能源系统以及能源经济也在其中。名单后面挂的学位是俄罗斯的高级研究资格。

• The journal describes itself as peer-reviewed, and the platform keeps a set of policy pages for it, filed under the headings of editorial policies, ethics and disclosures, and rights and permissions. Those pages stand in place of a printed editorial statute.刊物自述为同行评议，平台为它保留了一组政策页面，归在编辑方针与伦理披露以及权利许可这几个标题之下。这些页面代替了印在纸上的编辑部章程。

• Authors work through a pre-submission checklist before sending a paper, and submissions are made through the Pleiades system rather than by post. Two article types carry the normal traffic, original research articles and critical reviews.作者在投稿前要逐项走过一份投稿前检查表，稿件经 Pleiades 的系统递交，不走邮寄通道。刊物的常规稿类是两种，原创研究论文与批判性综述。

• A board of this size handles about a hundred articles a year, which leaves the Moscow desk to run the routine correspondence. The checklist and the submission guidelines share one section of the platform, and both are addressed to authors rather than to reviewers.这样规模的编委一年处理约百篇论文，日常函件由莫斯科编辑部操办。检查表与投稿须知放在平台的同一栏里，两份文件都写给作者而非审稿人。
