Safety, Reliability and Effectiveness of Internal Combustion Engines

Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite the growth of renewable energy capacities, internal combustion engines (ICE) will probably remain the main source of propulsion in transport and other industries. New technologies are developed to improve and reduce the ICE’s economic and environmental impacts, its construction and operating procedures included. It forces continuous improvement of the ICE’s effectiveness, safety and reliability. This article collection aims at bringing together research on how to identify, rectify and verify the effective, safe and reliable operation of different ICEs types. We welcome original research and review papers. This topic covers, in particular:
• Genesis, assessment and prediction ICE’s effectiveness, safety and reliability;
• Application of new methods, algorithms and heuristics for ICE’s effectiveness, safety and reliability analysis including AI, FEM, CFD, ALT;
• Development of new and improved protection systems for ICEs;
• Mitigation of new risks connected with the application of modern fuels including hydrogen, ammonia and methanol;
• Prevention of failures, breakdowns, fires and explosions;
• Prevention of incidents and accidents including pollution, damages, injuries, poisoning and death;
• Training and education in effective and safe operation;
• Application of procedures for more effective, safer and more reliable operation of ICEs;
• Development of modern condition monitoring systems;
• Root cause analysis of ICE’s failure case studies.
