Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The concept of Low Temperature Combustion (LTC) has been suggested to reduce emissions such as particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and improve combustion efficiency in combustion engines. Currently LTC is advancing the combustion strategies toward its application to high-pressure and low-temperature (below 1000 K) environment. However, the challenge is that combustion under low-temperature surrounding gases potentially create unstable ignition and flame propagation. This special issue is aimed to publish high-quality research papers and review articles that address recent development and discoveries on characterizing liquid and/or gaseous fuel spray and combustion under low temperature environment. Both experimental and numerical works on improving the understanding of chemistry, fuel injection process, fuel impingement, mixing rate and fuel autoignition are welcome.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Novel strategies of spray combustion under low temperature combustion
- Fuel chemistry under low temperature regime
- Fuel injection mechanisms for internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and rocket engines
- Liquid fuel spray autoignition and combustion
- Gaseous fuel jet characterization
- Emission formation and reduction
- Multicomponent fuel combustion (including surrogate fuels)
- Chemical kinetics modeling
- Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI)
- Low-temperature, high-pressure combustion experiments

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. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
