Aims and Scope
The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is a journal devoted to the publication of fundamental studies on the physics of transfer processes in general, with an emphasis on thermal aspects and also applied research on various processes, energy systems and the environment. Articles are published in English and French, and are subject to peer review.
The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:
* Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of material (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow
* Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media
* Single or multi–phase fluid flow with or without phase change
* Near–and far–field radiative heat transfer
* Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological, geological,...)
* Multiscale modelling
The applied research topics include:
* Heat exchangers, heat pipes, cooling processes
* Transport phenomena taking place in industrial processes (chemical, food and agricultural, metallurgical, space and aeronautical, automobile industries)
* Nano–and micro–technology for energy, space, biosystems and devices
* Heat transport analysis in advanced systems
* Impact of energy–related processes on environment, and emerging energy systems
The study of thermophysical properties of materials and fluids, thermal measurement techniques, inverse methods, and the developments of experimental methods are within the scope of the International Journal of Thermal Sciences which also covers the modelling, and numerical methods applied to thermal transfer.

Until now, Reviewer 2 still hasn't completed the review... I don't understand why. It has been over a month already.
The journal's quality is good, currently ranked in the second zone of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The invited reviewers possess the ability to review and provide professional feedback.
However, the speed is too slow. The first review took over four months, and it has been over three months since the second review with no news. I am eager to graduate, so I need to carefully consider where to submit. The editor is Cathy Castelain.

Due to the long duration of the first review, which exceeded two months, an email was sent to inquire about the status. Cathy CASTELAIN quickly replied and promised to urge the reviewers. The first review comments were received a week later. Although it required major revisions, it did not affect the essence of the article. The revisions were completed within three days and the article was accepted in less than a month. Overall, it was considered fortunate. It seems that the reviewers highly value the attitude of the authors in responding to their comments. If every point is addressed and modified in the manuscript, they feel respected.
