Liquid Hydrogen Production and Application

Dear Colleagues,

Hydrogen energy, as one of the most promising clean energy sources, has been playing an important role in the world energy arena. With the growing emphasis on hydrogen production, storage, transportation and application technologies, related technologies for liquid hydrogen are gaining additional interest throughout the energy engineering community. Liquid hydrogen has significant advantages in terms of the storage density and purity of hydrogen energy, although liquid hydrogen may require special technologies in production, transportation, storage and application. In the past several decades, liquid hydrogen was mainly used as rocket propellant, and its popularization in civil hydrogen energy would be further promoted by the development of production and application technologies for liquid hydrogen.

This Special Issue on “Liquid Hydrogen Production and Application” aims to attract state-of-the-art research and review articles on the development and application of liquid hydrogen. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Hydrogen liquefaction process;
2. Preparation technologies of liquid hydrogen;
3. Key equipment for liquid hydrogen preparation;
4. Insulation and storage technologies for liquid hydrogen;
5. Flow and transportation technologies for liquid hydrogen;
6. Mechanism of two-phase flow and heat transfer of cryogenic hydrogen;
7. Precooling of refueling technologies for liquid hydrogen;
8. Measurement and control technology for liquid hydrogen;
9. Thermal insulation of liquid hydrogen equipment.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
