Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The current needs of society include access to reliable and environmentally-friendly sources of energy, comfortable and cost-effective heating and cooling, efficient and pollution free transportation means, low energy consumption domestic appliances, miniaturized electric and electronic devices capable of performing well under extreme temperatures with minimum energy needs, optimized management of thermal processes in the manufacturing and food industries, hybridized and distributed power generation, monitoring and control of combustion and exothermic processes, advanced thermal therapies in medicine and bioengineering, new methods for the assessment and modeling of thermodynamic systems, and sustainable solutions to the energy demand growth, amongst other examples. Engineering thermodynamics plays a foremost role in making possible and improving all these systems through the understanding of the relation of their mechanical and chemical processes to temperature, heat, work, energy in general, and properties of matter.
This Special Issue explores the most recent research and developments in engineering thermodynamics, covering applications in widely extended processes, as well as in new emerging technologies. Novel studies are welcome regarding the fields of energy efficiency and sustainability in buildings, transportation, manufacturing, and process industry; renewable energy; energy, exergy, and economic analysis; energy efficiency enhancement and optimization; thermal power plants; thermal engines; experimental heat and mass transfer; modelling and simulation of thermal processes; heating and refrigeration; ventilation and air conditioning; desalination; thermo-chemical conversion; combustion processes and pollutants mitigation; environmental impact; thermo-physical properties of substances; and teaching innovation in thermodynamics.

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.
