One of the reasons is certainly related to the change in the temperature of the planet, which appears to have increased by 0.76 °C with respect to pre-industrial levels, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and this trend has not yet been stopped. The European Union considers it vital to prevent global warming from exceeding 2 °C with respect to pre-industrial levels, since this phenomenon has been proven to result in irreversible and potentially catastrophic changes. These climate changes are mainly caused by the emissions of greenhouse gasses related to human activities, and can be drastically reduced by employing energy systems, for both heating and cooling of buildings and for power production, characterized by high efficiency levels and/or based on renewable energy sources. This Special Issue, published in the journal Energies, includes 12 contributions from across the world, including a wide range of applications, such as HT-PEMFC, district heating systems, a thermoelectric generator for industrial waste, artificial ground freezing, nanofluids, and others.Research & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscThermosyphonstart-up characteristicshydrophilic and hydrophobiccontact anglenumerical modelingheat transferartificial ground freezingunderground stationmetro in NapoliGEO heatingmicrowave heatingmicrofluidicssiliconchip integrationindustrial waste heat recoverythermoelectric generatorhexagonal heat exchangertemperature distributionoutput performancecombustorturbulent Prandtl approachesNavier–Stokes simulationthermal analysisaxial permanent magnet coupling (APMC)eddy currentfinite element method (FEM)lumped-parameter thermal network (LPTN)energy efficiencyinduction heatingresistance heatingturnoutsrailwaysafety of rail trafficstock-railswitch-railnanofluidentropy generationviscous dissipationmagnetic heatinghigh temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cellthermal managementorganic rankine cycleplate heat exchangerwaste heat recoverycooling systemthermodynamic modelingshielded metal arc weldingwelding spatterelectrodeelectrical powerwelding timedryingenergy analysisexergy analysismultiphase modelmultispecies modelthermodynamicsBaltic Sea Regiondistrict heatingDH networksmart asset managementsmart gridResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesMauro Alessandroedt885534Massarotti NicolaedtVanoli LauraedtMauro AlessandroothMassarotti NicolaothVanoli LauraothBOOK9910557345503321Heat Transfer in Energy Conversion Systems3031993UNINA
