Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the problems of the combustion and emissions of hydrocarbon-fueled engines.
Rapidly growing environmental problems require more and more attention in the search for new ways to reduce harmful emissions in the combustion products of various engines running on hydrocarbon fuels. In addition to the inevitable combustion products, carbon oxides, soot, and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have a harmful effects on the environment and humans. At the same time, if the fight against reducing soot formation in combustion products has been engaged in for many decades, then attention to smaller, optically transparent particles of the so-called nanoorganic carbon (NOC) and PAHs has appeared only over the last decade. Recent studies show that such particles can be even more harmful to the human body and many other aspects of the environment. On the other hand, the registration of such subnanometer particles is extremely difficult, which requires special efforts in the development of both experimental and theoretical approaches to the study of the mechanisms of their formation and the search for ways to reduce their emissions in combustion products.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of reducing PAHs, NOC, and soot emissions from various hydrocarbon-fueled engines. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
