Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Combustion has been the key technology that enabled unprecedented development in the last century. As an example of the evolution during this period, at the beginning of the 1900s, vehicles with internal combustion engines and electric powertrains were on a par; due to several advantages, gasoline-powered units became the dominant power source for mobility, while the latter featured a marginal presence. Recently, the electric motor has been receiving renewed interest, mainly due to significant progress in battery technology, and appears to be the choice of most decision-makers for the future of mobility. When comparing the two aforementioned solutions, there are several unresolved issues such as the debate with respect to well-to-wheel ratings or the significant role of combustion in generating the energy that actually drives electric vehicles. Nonetheless, there is an important social and political drive towards electrification of mobility. This of course has a range of consequences on the energy generation sector and eventually on the future development of combustion-based conversion technologies.
As a consequence, the current Special Issue plans to investigate the most recent advances in combustion processes and how these developments fit within the current energy and mobility scenario. Papers that cover all combustion-related processes are welcome, ranging from basic studies of non- and premixed flames, to thermodynamic processes connected with thermal energy conversion, including active as well as passive methods for emissions control. The unifying theme is the scrutiny of advances within the current situation and foreseen scenarios, and thus interactions with other forms of energy conversion are also of significant interest, including hybrid powertrains.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
