Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors invite submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject of “Advanced Thermal Management Technologies and Heat Transfer”. Thermal management and heat transfer are crucial to ensure the efficiency, safety, and reliability of energy systems. Advanced thermal management and heat transfer technologies are also critically needed in modern electronic systems, which have seen rapid growth alongside the development of high-speed computations, artificial intelligence (AI), and the electrification of transportation systems.

This Special Issue will cover novel and emerging thermal management and heat transfer techniques for energy and power systems. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:

Multi-phase flow and heat transfer;

Phase change heat transfer and materials;

Micro/nano-scale heat transfer;

Enhanced heat transfer techniques;

Electronics cooling;

Thermal interface materials and analysis;

Thermal management in electric vehicles;

Anti-icing and de-icing of energy/power infrastructure;

Thermal energy storage;

Battery thermal management;

Heat transfer in renewable energy systems;

Air conditioning and refrigeration;

Artificial intelligence (including machine learning) in developing thermal management and enhanced heat transfer technologies.

The DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst), DPF (diesel particulate filter), SCR (selective catalytic reduction), and ASC (ammonia slip catalyst) are widely used in diesel exhaust after-treatment systems. The thermal management of after-treatment systems using DOC, DPF, SCR, and ASC were investigated to improve the efficiency of these devices. This paper aims to identify the challenges of this topic and seek novel methods to control the temperature. Insulation methods and catalysts decrease the energy required for thermal management, which improves the efficiency of thermal management. Thermal insulation decreases the heat loss of the exhaust gas, which can reduce the after-treatment light-off time. The DOC light-off time was reduced by 75% under adiabatic conditions. A 400 W microwave can heat the DPF to the soot oxidation temperature of 873 K at a regeneration time of 150 s. An SCR burner can decrease NOx emissions by 93.5%. Electrically heated catalysts can decrease CO, HC, and NOx emissions by 80%, 80%, and 66%, respectively. Phase-change materials can control the SCR temperature with a two-thirds reduction in NOx emissions. Pt-Pd application in the catalyst can decrease the CO light-off temperature to 113 °C. Approaches of catalysts can enhance the efficiency of the after-treatment systems and reduce the energy consumption of thermal management. Full article
