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. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 610 $aartificial ground freezing 610 $aaxial permanent magnet coupling (APMC) 610 $aBaltic Sea Region 610 $achip integration 610 $acombustor 610 $acontact angle 610 $acooling system 610 $aDH network 610 $adistrict heating 610 $adrying 610 $aeddy current 610 $aelectrical power 610 $aelectrode 610 $aenergy analysis 610 $aenergy efficiency 610 $aentropy generation 610 $aexergy analysis 610 $afinite element method (FEM) 610 $aGEO heating 610 $aheat transfer 610 $ahexagonal heat exchanger 610 $ahigh temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell 610 $ahydrophilic and hydrophobic 610 $ainduction heating 610 $aindustrial waste heat recovery 610 $alumped-parameter thermal network (LPTN) 610 $amagnetic heating 610 $ametro in Napoli 610 $amicrofluidics 610 $amicrowave heating 610 $amultiphase model 610 $amultispecies model 610 $ananofluid 610 $aNavier-Stokes simulation 610 $anumerical modeling 610 $aorganic rankine cycle 610 $aoutput performance 610 $aplate heat exchanger 610 $arailway 610 $aresistance heating 610 $asafety of rail traffic 610 $ashielded metal arc welding 610 $asilicon 610 $asmart asset management 610 $asmart grid 610 $astart-up characteristics 610 $astock-rail 610 $aswitch-rail 610 $atemperature distribution 610 $athermal analysis 610 $athermal management 610 $athermodynamic modeling 610 $athermodynamics 610 $athermoelectric generator 610 $aThermosyphon 610 $aturbulent Prandtl approaches 610 $aturnouts 610 $aunderground station 610 $aviscous dissipation 610 $awaste heat recovery 610 $awelding spatter 610 $awelding time 615 7$aResearch and information: general 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 700 $aMauro$b Alessandro$4edt$0885534 702 $aMassarotti$b Nicola$4edt 702 $aVanoli$b Laura$4edt 702 $aMauro$b Alessandro$4oth 702 $aMassarotti$b Nicola$4oth 702 $aVanoli$b Laura$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557345503321 996 $aHeat Transfer in Energy Conversion Systems$93031993 997 $aUNINA
