Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With regard to all aspects of internal combustion engines (ICEs) and related technologies, including the most recent studies and advancements affecting the automotive, railroad, marine, and aerospace industries as well as stationary power generation engines, the current Special Issue is meant to be a leading resource for long-term reference information on cutting-edge technological developments and strategic evaluations of future ICE progress. Furthermore, exhaust emissions of ICEs are a major concern. Ongoing efforts to develop more environmentally friendly engines and vehicles are focused on the reduction of exhaust emission standards and after-treatment exhaust strategies. The strong need to eliminate fossil fuel consumption also creates new difficulties for the development of ICEs. On the other hand, advances in engine design and technology are constantly needed due to the continuous evolution of road transportation and the rise in end-user demands for vehicles that are more comfortable, robust, dependable, and fuel-efficient. In many applications, there is no substitute for these advancements. It still seems unlikely that the ICE will be replaced by a new but equally effective source of propulsion, despite several attempts. As a result, intensive research into ICE advancements must continue, and the findings must be made publicly available.
All aspiring authors are encouraged to submit original research papers. All manuscripts will go through an assessment process by reviewers with experience and reputation. Original research papers are anticipated to be full and comprehensive to provide novel and noteworthy content to the literature. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis articles, are also welcome.
