Experimental and Computational Combustion Process

Dear Colleagues,

The ongoing and well-needed turn towards the sustainable management of energy sources has resulted in a number of emerging technologies for energy generation with a promising outlook for the future. Among these, combustion still plays a major role in nearly all parts of society, starting from heat-intensive industrial processes to waste management and the power generation sector. Concerned about the environmental footprint left by combustion, an extensive knowledge base on new approaches and underlying phenomena has been emerging in the recent decades, resulting in technical advances that have never been seen before. Giant leaps forward were made in the area of emission formation, efficiency, stability, and fuel flexibility, bringing combustion on par with the cleanest technologies for energy generation. To serve as a reservoir of ongoing breakthrough ideas and achievements, this Special Issue focuses on experimental and numerical applied and fundamental research including:

• Conventional, low-temperature, catalytic and oxyfuel combustion.
• Novel combustion concepts.
• Combustion of synthetic, renewable, waste-derived, and conventional fuels (solid, liquid, and gaseous).
• Analysis of regulated and unregulated emission formation along with reduction strategies.
• Development of surrogate fuels.
• Kinetic mechanisms and mechanism reduction.
• Heat transfer and flame dynamics.
• Combustion in gas turbines, reciprocating engines, burners, and furnaces.
• Special applications of combustion.

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.
