**Meet the editor**

Professor Dr Ing. Jovan Mitrovic was a professor and Head of the Department of Thermal Process Engineering and Plant Technology at the University Paderborn, and a professor in Technical Thermodynamics and Thermal Process Engineering at the University Stuttgart, both in Germany. After his retirement, he accepted a position of a visiting professor at the University in East Saraje-

vo, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, lecturing Thermo/Fluid Energetic in Higher Education Programme. He received his degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Belgrade (Yugoslavia), and PhD (Dr.-Ing.) from the University Stuttgart, Germany. His main research interests are transport phenomena with phase transitions, falling films heat transfer, and heat transfer improvement. He is author/co-author of more than 120 papers published in refereed journals; in 2004 he edited the book Heat Exchanger and Condenser Tubes. Professor Mitrovic is a member of the Editorial Board of Chemical Engineering and Technology. He has supervised/co-supervised over 20 PhD Theses and over 120 Diploma/Master Dissertations.
