Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With increasingly stringent emission regulations, waste heat recovery (WHR) has been taken as one of the most potential ways to achieve environmental improvement by making better use of energy. Waste heat can be recovered using various technologies, such as heat-to-heat, heat-to-cooling and heat-to-power.
With the progress of thermodynamic simulation technology, the control strategies of complex thermodynamic systems are being developed, making the application of complex thermodynamic systems more competitive. The combination of prime movers with WHR devices, combined heat and power (CHP), and combined cooling, heat and power (CCHP) systems, etc. are attracting more attention since these solutions can offer substantial improvements in performance and cost reduction. Furthermore, they can be tailored to varying end-user requirements.
This Research Topic intends to present the latest research progress in waste heat recovery, including system design and performance optimization, system integration, and tests that focus on the most important theoretical and experimental developments, new applications of WHR, refrigeration and so on. Themes include but are not limited to:
- Waste heat recovery;
- ORC and supercritical ORC;
- Refrigeration and heat pump;
- Hardware components;
- CCHP;
- Renewable energy;
- Integrated energy systems.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
