PCDST 2019 : Special Issue on Progress in Combustion Diagnostics, Science and Technology

Dear Colleagues,

The role that combustion plays in the world’s energy systems will continue to evolve with the changes in technological demands. For example, the challenges that we face today are more focused on the conservation of energy and on addressing environmental concerns, which together, necessitate cleaner and more efficient combustion processes using a range of fuel sources. In addition, combustion also plays an increasingly important role in materials science and process technology.

This Special Issue invites contributions to highlight the recent progress in theory and experiments, development, and/or demonstration of technologies and systems involving combustion processes, for the production, storage and utilization, and conservation of energy. In doing so, this Special Issue intends to present a forum to enable the rapid dissemination of recent ideas and results emanating from many diverse areas associated with combustion.

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 papers will be 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 ([email protected]) 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 1500 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.
