About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to explore the suitability of waste energy recovery technologies within the aerospace, automotive and industrial sectors.
In aerospace, converting waste energy into useful power could increase the range or endurance of the flight without using extra fuel, paying special attention to the increase in weight of the waste energy recovery system.
The automotive sector aims to enhance vehicle efficiency and meet stringent emission regulations through techniques such as exhaust heat recovery, kinetic energy recovery systems, and advanced engine, vehicle and battery thermal management. The issue covers cutting-edge research on these technologies in conventional and electric vehicles, emphasizing performance gains and cost-effectiveness.
In the industrial sector, waste energy recovery involves capturing and repurposing energy from processes like steel production and chemical manufacturing. The energy recoverable from thermal network optimization and integration with all energy consumers is also an issue worth of study.
This Research Topic is looking for contributions towards energy sustainability through technologies such as thermoelectric generators, organic Rankine cycles, regenerative braking, etc. Interdisciplinary contributions, including theoretical frameworks, policy implications, economic analyses and lifecycle assessments are encouraged to provide a complete landscape of waste energy recovery challenges and opportunities.
Submissions of original research articles, reviews, and case studies are welcome to advance the frontier of waste energy recovery.
