Modeling of Combustion and Fuel Reforming by Non-equilibrium Plasma

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue: “Modeling of Combustion and Fuel Reforming by Non-equilibrium Plasma”.

With the increasing severity of global warming and pollutant emission, the renewable energy from solar, wind and hydroenergy plays a more important role in the world energy. Non-equilibrium plasma generated from renewable electricity provides a promising technology to improve combustion efficiency, reduce emissions and store renewable energy. It has shown remarkable advantages not only in enhancing ignition, extending flammability and flame stabilization limits, accelerating low temperature fuel oxidation, but also in converting fuels and CO₂ into valuable chemicals. Numerical modeling is a helpful approach and has been frequently used to understand and illustrate the underlying physical-chemical process of plasma assisted combustion and fuel reforming, as well as developing plasma applications. The advances in computer science and computational ability also promise to help accelerate the development of modeling in combustion and plasma science.

The topics in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, kinetic model development, multi-scale modeling, and advanced computational technology for plasma-assisted combustion and fuel reforming.

Yours sincerely,

Prof. Dr. Qi Chen

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 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.
