Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Internal combustion engines evolve rapidly and there is a continuous need to improve technologies, explore new concepts, and question what appears to be consolidated. The injection system is intended to pilot that complex and crucial process of combustion, whose features affect the release of heat and the formation of pollutants. In this scenario, the injection system plays a key role and the characteristics of next-generation internal combustion engines will also depend on this evolution. This Special Issue will focus on all those topics that constitute the "cutting-edge", the frontier of the evolution of injection systems, both in the field of diesel engines and gasoline engines, whether for light applications or heavy.
Both experimental studies and modeling-based studies (LP, three-dimensional, or multidimensional) that take into consideration the typical processes and performances of the injection system or its components are invited. Among the others, particular consideration will be devoted to the following:
- Use of alternative fuels
- Unconventional components and solutions (injectors, pumps, pipes, nozzles)
- Rate of injection and the spray characteristics
- Innovative techniques of diagnosis and measuring techniques in the field of injection systems
- Innovative techniques of modeling and simulation in the field of injection systems
- Mechanical-hydraulic behavior of the injection systems
- Problems relating to the injection strategy
The selection of papers for this Special Issue will be based on the following:
- Their innovation;
- Their pure scientific and applied technology findings;
- Their new and alternative approaches

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.
