On the global scale, concern is focused on climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions, and on a national scale, atmospheric pollution produced by combustion processes is of concern. A possible approach is through the development of new ideas and innovative processes to the current practices. Among the available options, multi-generation processes such as the trigeneration cycle, battery storage system, solar power plants and heat pumps have been widely studied, as they potentially allow for greater efficiency, lower costs, and reduced emissions. On the other hand, some researchers had been working to increase the potential of energy generation process through heat recovery under the steam generator, organic Rankine cycle, and absorption chillers. In this Special Issue on "Thermal Systems" of fundamental or applied and numerical or experimental investigation, many new concepts in thermal systems and energy utilization were explored and published as original research papers in this "Special Issue".History of engineering and technologybicsscabrasive-milling processesabsorption chilleraccident-tolerant fuel (ATF) claddingadvanced exergo-economic analysisalternative processcentralised heat pumpcontroldynamic modellingendogenous exergyenergy povertyexergy analysisexogenous exergyexperimental testingfinned-tube gas coolergas microturbineheat pipeheat transferhourly heating demandinverse heat transfer problemLi-ion batterymilling coolingminichannel flow boilingn/anon-coating methodoff-design heat pump modelORCoscillating heat pipesplug flowpseudo-single tube (PST)room-temperature swagingsolar networksupercritical carbon dioxidetemperature separationthe low-temperature air flow ratio (yc), inlet pressure (Pi)thermal managementthermo-economic assessmentthermoelectric coolerTrefftz methodtrigeneration systemvoid fractionvortex generatorvortex tubewaste heat recovery systemHistory of engineering and technologyAgnew Brianedt1322479Tam Ivan CKedtAgnew BrianothTam Ivan CKothBOOK9910557128303321Thermal Systems3038486UNINA
