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". 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $aabrasive-milling processes 610 $aabsorption chiller 610 $aaccident-tolerant fuel (ATF) cladding 610 $aadvanced exergo-economic analysis 610 $aalternative process 610 $acentralised heat pump 610 $acontrol 610 $adynamic modelling 610 $aendogenous exergy 610 $aenergy poverty 610 $aexergy analysis 610 $aexogenous exergy 610 $aexperimental testing 610 $afinned-tube gas cooler 610 $agas microturbine 610 $aheat pipe 610 $aheat transfer 610 $ahourly heating demand 610 $ainverse heat transfer problem 610 $aLi-ion battery 610 $amilling cooling 610 $aminichannel flow boiling 610 $an/a 610 $anon-coating method 610 $aoff-design heat pump model 610 $aORC 610 $aoscillating heat pipes 610 $aplug flow 610 $apseudo-single tube (PST) 610 $aroom-temperature swaging 610 $asolar network 610 $asupercritical carbon dioxide 610 $atemperature separation 610 $athe low-temperature air flow ratio (yc), inlet pressure (Pi) 610 $athermal management 610 $athermo-economic assessment 610 $athermoelectric cooler 610 $aTrefftz method 610 $atrigeneration system 610 $avoid fraction 610 $avortex generator 610 $avortex tube 610 $awaste heat recovery system 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aAgnew$b Brian$4edt$01322479 702 $aTam$b Ivan CK$4edt 702 $aAgnew$b Brian$4oth 702 $aTam$b Ivan CK$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557128303321 996 $aThermal Systems$93038486 997 $aUNINA
