Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the sharp increase in transportation demand, the construction of fuel supply chains has been thriving all over the world. This mini-symposium (Fuel Supply Chain of International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences) aims to encourage researchers to develop highly-efficient methods for the management optimization of large-scale fuel supply chain systems. We invite investigators to contribute to this mini-symposium with original research articles addressing the recent advances and challenges in mathematical modeling and algorithms. The conference targeted a wide range of topics related to fuel supply chain systems, optimization methods, and management, in order to improve the planning, design, scheduling, and control of the fuel supply chain system. Some of the topics include:

Fuel supply chain system analysis

Pipeline scheduling optimization

Batch sequence and size

Pump scheduling optimization

Inventory management

Real-time scheduling

System reliability analysis

Highly-efficient method for large-scale issues

Interdisciplinary optimization method

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. Energies 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 2600 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.

Long-distance pipelines transporting multiple product oils such as gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, are important facilities for transporting fossil energy. One major concern in operation is the energy consumption of the pipeline. Energy consumption should be made optimized tracking batches of oils and cutting mixed oil, which requires an accurate prediction of concentration curve. In engineering, the concentration curve is usually assumed to be symmetric, but it is actually asymmetric, which may lead to estimation errors. Thus, the asymmetric concentration of mixed oil should be studied. The formation mechanism of the asymmetry of concentration curve has not been clearly clarified. A new method is proposed to measure the asymmetry of the concentration curve. Quantitative analysis is carried out for each factor on the asymmetry distribution of concentration curve. Based on the convection–diffusion equation, a modified oil-mixing model considering near wall adsorption effect is established. The model shows a good agreement with the Jablonski empirical formula. The error, compared with the experimental results, is less than 5%. The main findings are: (1) deviation volume has a negative correlation with pipe diameter and mean velocity; (2) adsorption coefficient has a greater impact on the length ratio of front and tail oil than diffusion coefficient; (3) the influence of all factors considered on the total length of mixed oil, front oil, tail oil and trail oil are basically the same; (4) if the limit of adsorption concentration in adsorption layer is 1, the reasonable value of adsorption coefficient a and b should be around 0.4. The results reveal the mechanism of asymmetric concentration of product oils and can provide practical suggestions to deal with the mixed oil. Full article
