Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The term “exergy-based methods” was first used in the title of two 2008 ASME papers (Tsatsaronis, G. and Morosuk, T. (2008): A general exergy-based method for combining a cost analysis with an environmental impact analysis. Part I – Theoretical Development; Part II – Application to a cogeneration system, Proceedings of the ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, IMECE 2008, November 2-6, 2008, Boston, Massachusetts, USA, IMECE2008-67218 and IMECE2008-67219). Since that time, this term has become a well-known keyword for publications dealing with conventional and/or advanced exergetic, exergoeconomic and/or exergoenvironmental analyses. Through these analyses, the real thermodynamic inefficiencies, their costs and environmental impacts are identified together with their causing sources. The unique results obtained from these analyses allow engineers to better understand and improve (“optimize”) the design and operation of energy conversion systems. Finally, with the aid of exergy-based methods we can conduct consistent multi-criterial evaluations of such systems.
Research and review papers dealing with the development and/or application of exergy-based methods and/or optimization are sought for this Special Issue.

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. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
