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 and information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscartificial ground freezingaxial permanent magnet coupling (APMC)Baltic Sea Regionchip integrationcombustorcontact anglecooling systemDH networkdistrict heatingdryingeddy currentelectrical powerelectrodeenergy analysisenergy efficiencyentropy generationexergy analysisfinite element method (FEM)GEO heatingheat transferhexagonal heat exchangerhigh temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cellhydrophilic and hydrophobicinduction heatingindustrial waste heat recoverylumped-parameter thermal network (LPTN)magnetic heatingmetro in Napolimicrofluidicsmicrowave heatingmultiphase modelmultispecies modelnanofluidNavier-Stokes simulationnumerical modelingorganic rankine cycleoutput performanceplate heat exchangerrailwayresistance heatingsafety of rail trafficshielded metal arc weldingsiliconsmart asset managementsmart gridstart-up characteristicsstock-railswitch-railtemperature distributionthermal analysisthermal managementthermodynamic modelingthermodynamicsthermoelectric generatorThermosyphonturbulent Prandtl approachesturnoutsunderground stationviscous dissipationwaste heat recoverywelding spatterwelding timeResearch and information: generalTechnology: general issuesMauro Alessandroedt885534Massarotti NicolaedtVanoli LauraedtMauro AlessandroothMassarotti NicolaothVanoli LauraothBOOK9910557345503321Heat Transfer in Energy Conversion Systems3031993UNINA
