Combustion Process and Emission Control of Alternative Fuels

Dear Colleagues,

Large amounts of fossil fuels are consumed by internal combustion engines annually, leading to severe problems for the environment and human health, such as global warming and respiratory diseases. Applications of alternative fuels to internal combustion engines have attracted much attention, leading to decreasing greenhouse gas emissions and exhaust pollutants, as well as easing the dependency on fossil fuels; additionally, many alternative fuels present excellent performance for internal combustion engine applications.

This Special Issue aims to highlight a broad field of alternative fuels applications to any types of internal combustion engines, such as conventional reciprocating engines, free piston engines, and opposed rotary piston engines. This topic covers the combustion analysis and advanced combustion technologies, emissions formations and control measures for internal combustion engines fuelled with alternative fuels. Recent research from both experiments and simulations are welcome, and the types of submission to be considered for publication include research articles, reviews, communications, and concept papers.

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.
