Summary
Thermophysics is the science and technology of the most important properties of materials. The thermophysical properties of fluids and materials play an important role in several processes in the chemical, extraction and manufacturing industries, especially in those involving simultaneous heat and mass transfer. Most of the problems that affect our society need values of these properties to design and characterize new products and processes, to replace unacceptable processes and compounds and to optimize energy balances and efficiency. \n\nUnder the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals tasks, research in this area requires innovative approaches that can respond for affordable and clean energy, industry (including fishing industries), innovation and infrastructure, sustainable cities and communities, and climate action, among others possible. In the recent years most of our group research was directed to cutting-edge problems, which include ionic melts (ionic liquids, molten salts), molten metals, nanomaterials, IoNanofluids and new engineering fluids. The environmental and safety requirements on the use of nanomaterials and nanosystems will also be analyzed on the basis of a recent proposed strategy, Lourenço et al., (2021) [1].\n\nSignificant references\n1.
