Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Thermal management and environmental sustainability in marine engineering represent critical challenges for both researchers and industry professionals. The performance and ecological impact of marine systems depend not only on the design of heating, ventilation, and cooling technologies but also on innovations in energy efficiency, emission control, and waste heat recovery.
The aim of modern marine engineering is to optimize thermal regulation systems, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and develop sustainable solutions that comply with stringent environmental regulations. This includes advancements in ship HVAC systems, hybrid/electric vessel thermal management, underwater vehicle cooling, and pollution mitigation strategies.
This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge technologies and methodologies for improving thermal and environmental control in marine applications. Topics will cover not only novel engineering designs and computational modeling but also experimental validation through laboratory tests, field studies, and real-world case studies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
