《傳熱雜志》在傳熱和傳質(zhì)領(lǐng)域傳播著長期關(guān)注的信息。貢獻(xiàn)可能包括應(yīng)用于機械工程和相關(guān)學(xué)科所有領(lǐng)域的熱能或傳質(zhì)的基礎(chǔ)研究的結(jié)果。此外，還公布了側(cè)重于評價與傳熱傳質(zhì)有關(guān)的熱物理性質(zhì)以及傳熱傳質(zhì)理論的研究檔案結(jié)果。《熱傳遞雜志》是《熱科學(xué)與工程應(yīng)用雜志》的補充，該雜志側(cè)重于應(yīng)用。

The Journal of Heat Transfer disseminates information of permanent interest in the areas of heat and mass transfer. Contributions may consist of results from fundamental research that apply to thermal energy or mass transfer in all fields of mechanical engineering and related disciplines. Also, archival results of research that focuses on the evaluation of thermophysical properties associated with heat and mass transfer, as well as on the theory of heat and mass transfer, are published. The Journal of Heat Transfer is complementary to the Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications, which focuses on applications.
