Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is a call for papers for the Special Issue entitled Energy Efficiency: Perspectives and Policies and the Critical aspects for Energy Conservation and Storage Towards Sustainable Development.
Energy efficiency is the opposite of wasting energy; it simply means using less energy to perform an action. Actually, energy efficiency has become a buzzword for environmentalists, politicians, advertisers, and energy companies alike, and with good reason; it is seen as one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce carbon emissions. The amount of energy we use or waste has a direct impact on the environment, and on our wallets.
To tackle this issue, researches have been focused on the storage of thermal energy phenomena. In fact, Thermal Energy Storage (TES) deals with the storing of energy by cooling, heating, melting, solidifying, or vaporizing a material, the energy becoming available as heat when the process is reversed. In fact, the production of heat nowadays is mainly based on finite energy sources. Heat transfer performance and energy efficiency evaluations are of great significance for the efficient use of heat exchangers. The proper design, operation, and maintenance of heat exchangers will make the process energy efficient and minimize energy losses. In general, all attempts to achieve processes and thermodynamic cycles with high efficiency, low emissions, and low costs include heat transfer and heat exchangers to a large extent. The attempt to provide efficient, compact, and cheap heat transfer methods and heat exchangers is a real challenge for research.
Therefore, the objective of this Special Issue is to present recent original advances (theoretical and empirical research articles) as well as up-to-date progress in all areas of energy efficiency, energy conversion and storage, heat transfer in engineering, and its influence on emerging technologies.
The broad topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Impact of technological innovation on energy efficiency in industry;
- The impacts of energy efficiency policies;
- Measuring energy and environmental efficiency interactions towards CO2 emissions reduction;
- Heat transfer and thermal phenomena at all scales (from nanoscale to macroscale);
- Thermal systems and thermal management systems;
- Interdisciplinary study focusing on heat transfer;
- Waste heat recovery and allied heat transfer applications;
- Heat transfer in energy storage and energy conservation;
- Experimental, numerical, and analytical studies focusing on heat transfer and thermal phenomena;
- Fundamental mechanism and practical applications of heat transfer in wide variety of processes.
