Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor invites submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on "Advanced Cooling Methods, Thermal Protection for Modern Engines, Turbines and Hydrogen Cooled Turbogenerators."
The hydrogen-containing fuels and cooling technological environments in the engine, turbine, and turbogenerators compartment play a vital role in the degradation processes of applying structural materials. The elements responsible for durability and long-term services of the engine combustion chamber, hot track of turbines, a hydrogen-cooling system of turbogenerators are the injectors and the injection pump, turbines discs and blades, turbogenerators rotor-retaining rings units. The hydrogen influence on such structural elements' performance, durability, and reliability is significant.
This Special Issue will focus on novel techniques for determining the influence of hydrogen-containing fuels and lubricant-cooling environments on durability during long-term service of structural materials, their preparation, wear, cavitation, and modern engines, turbines, turbogenerators performance. This Special Issue will focus on, but is not limited to, the following themes:
- Modern hydrogen-containing fuel systems for engines and turbines;
- Advanced hydrogen-cooling methods and thermal protection for turbogenerators;
- Advanced cooling strategies and thermal protection for hydrogen turbines blades;
- Hydrogen influences crack resistance and fracture character of materials for hydrogen buffer infrastructures;
- In hydrogen-grid distribution: the compatibility of non-steel (Cu-Ni, Ni-Co alloys, Pb, Al, group 3 metals chalcogenides and group 6 transition metals dichalcogenides) materials;
- Lubricant cooling (liquid, solid, gaseous) of hydrogen-containing technological environments;
- Analysis of conditions of hydrogen-assisted vibration cavitation.

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.
