Special Issue Information
Dear Editors,
An engine is a kind of energy transfer device that changes chemical energy into mechanical energy, which is used in production and everyday life. However, the chemical energy of the fuel used is limited, and the reaction of the fuel produces harmful products polluting the environment. Therefore, it is urgent to develop some advanced approaches to efficiently utilize the chemical energy of fuel.
This Special Issue on “Advances in Engine Combustion Performance, Flow and Energy Conversion Efficiency” seeks high-quality works focusing on advanced approaches in thermodynamic cycles, combustions and flows in engines to improve the energy conversion efficiency. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fuel properties suitable for efficient energy conversion;
- Novel thermodynamic cycles;
- Efficient combustion theory and technology;
- Flow organization for efficient work;
- Thermodynamic analysis of energy conversion;
- Design of an efficient engine.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
