Dear Colleagues,

The convergence between experimental research and numerical modeling is central to advancing the understanding of thermal energy and systems management. The relentless pursuit of energy efficiency and the intelligent, optimized management of thermal systems are now global imperatives. In this context, the search for innovative methodologies capable of identifying more appropriate forms and procedures to configure the use, processing, and execution of energy efficiently is a constant challenge. This challenge is driven by the need to achieve greater efficiency from a technical point of view and consider financial and environmental aspects. Integrating experimental and/or real studies with advanced numerical simulations aims to optimize the use of resources, improve sustainability, and develop innovative strategies for thermal management. For this purpose, we would like to invite you to submit your original research to this Special Issue of Processes, entitled "Experimental and Numerical Study of Energy and Thermal Management Systems". Topics of interest in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Energy, exergy, and exergoenvironmental analyses of polygeneration systems;
• Sustainable energy and its applications;
• Advanced production and energy management technologies;
• Environmental impact and sustainability in thermal systems;
• Optimization of polygeneration systems;
• Energy storage: applications and challenges;
• Development of technologies for collecting, storing, and processing experimental and/or real data.

Thank you in advance for your significant contribution to this ever-evolving discussion on energy efficiency and innovative thermal management.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

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.
