Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to global climate change, concomitant regulations, and the declining fossil fuel resources, it will become necessary in the coming years to introduce new fuels with a reduced carbon footprint into combustion systems in stationary, automotive and aircraft engines. Possible candidates for this are green fuels such as hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and their derivatives. However, their use in sustainable development of ICE raises a number of problems due to the different properties of these fuels in terms of ignition temperature, combustion temperature, flame propagation rate, reaction kinetics, or flame shape. These parameters directly affect the performance characteristics of power systems, especially thermal efficiency, durability, operation, and toxic compounds emissions (NOx, CO, HC and PM). Hence the need for research on the impact of renewable fuels on the sustainable development of ICE in stationary (gas turbine, big stationary engine) and transport (automotive, marine and aviation) systems, using numerical and experimental methods and those tested under actual operating conditions to achieve the degree of technological readiness expected by the industry.
Taking into account these challenges, present a Special Issue of Sustainability entitled: "Alternative Fuels for Advanced Internal Combustion Engine Technologies, Thermodynamic and Emission Assessment". The purpose of the Issue is to present recent scientific research results and solutions from the industrial sector that seek to introduce decarbonized fuels for the sustainable development of ICE combustion systems.
We invite you to publish original manuscripts and reviews related to a wide range of topics concerning the use of alternative/renewable fuels in stationary and transportation internal combustion engines:
- Decarbonized fuels as a challenge for sustainable development of advanced internal combustion engines;
- Optimization techniques for sustainable development internal combustion engine with new decarbonized fuels: operating parameters analysis;
- Assessment of RES fuels fuel suitability for internal combustion engines;
- Fuel flexibility in green transformation in stationary and transportation internal combustion engine;
- Environmental aspects of new fuel introduction in the sustainable transport sector and electricity generation.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
