Combustion and Energy Conversion under Small Scales
This special issue belongs to the section “I2: Energy and Combustion Science“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on combustion and energy conversion under small scales. Original research articles as well as technical reviews on both fundamental problems and technical developments are invited for submission. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Combustion characteristics under micro- and meso-scales
- Flame dynamics in micro- and meso-scale combustors
- Reaction kinetics in micro and meso-scale combustion
- Flame stabilization technologies for micro- and meso-scale combustors
- Advanced numerical methods for the micro and meso-scale combustion
- Diagnostic techniques for micro- and meso-scale combustion
- Performances of miniature combustion-based energy conversion and power generation devices
- Fuel processing in microscale reactors
- Emission control of micro combustors fueled by hydrocarbon fuels
- Combustion in porous media burners

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Energies 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 2600 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.
