One of the reasons is certainly related to the change in the temperature of the planet, which has increased by 0.76 °C with respect to preindustrial levels, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and is still increasing. The European Union considers it vital to prevent global warming from exceeding 2 °C with respect to pre-industrial levels, as it has been proven that this will result in irreversible and potentially catastrophic changes. These changes in climate are mainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions related to human activities, and can be drastically reduced by employing energy systems for the heating and cooling of buildings, as well as for power production, characterized by high efficiency levels and/or based on renewable energy sources. This Special Issue, published in the Energies journal, includes 13 contributions from across the world, including a wide range of applications such as hybrid residential renewable energy systems, desiccant-based air handling units, heat exchanges for engine WHR, solar chimney systems, and other interesting topics.History of engineering and technologybicsscabsorption coolingair flowair-cooled steam turbine generatorammonia-lithium nitrateanalytical and experimental solutionsancillary servicesbackflowbatch transportationbentonite buffer materialBiot numberbody-fitted coordinate-based proper orthogonal decomposition reduced-order model (BFC-POD-ROM)bubble absorberCa-type bentonitecomputational fluid dynamicsconsumptioncrude oil pipelinedesiccant wheeldryingdynamic simulationdynamic simulationselectric arc furnaceelectric energyenergy and environmental analysisenergy storageexhaust emissionsexhaust steamfast thermal simulationfluid fieldgenetic algorithmsgenetic programminggeothermal energyground source heat pumpground-air heat exchangerheat exchangerheat pumphybrid systemshygroscopic materialslinear regressionlow-order modelmeltingmethod of calculationmicrogridsmodel predictive controlmodelingnumerical and experimental studiesobject-oriented modellingoperating stateoptimizationphase changeplate heat exchangerpredictive modelsprotracted finR744radial ventilation ductrefiningrefrigerationrenewablessingle-channel ventilationsolar chimneysolar heating and coolingspirally corrugated pipestartupsteelmakingtappingthermal conductivitythermal storagethermosyphontransport scheme determinationturbo-electric generatortwo-phase ejectortwo-phase flowvisualizationwaste heat recoveryHistory of engineering and technologyMauro Alessandroauth885534Massarotti NicolaauthBOOK9910372785003321Heat and Mass Transfer in Energy Systems3030540UNINA
