Built Environment Professor Guest Editor of Energies Journal

Professor Brian Agnew has been invited to be Guest Editor of a Special Issue of Energies.  The Journal entitled “Exergy Analysis of Energy Systems” will look at the current emphasis on energy savings and environmental issues related to power generation.  

Energies is an online monthly open access journal of related scientific research, technology development, engineering, and the studies in policy and management.
Professor Agnew is an expert in Energy and the Environment.  His research interests include Thermal Systems and Subway Climatology.  

Professor Agnew said, “Energy savings and environmental issues, related to power generation, have prompted both researchers and industries to find high efficiency and low emission solutions. The current approach to meet the environmental and efficiency targets are based upon combined thermal plant whether it be CHP, tri-generation or more exotic combination of cycles that could include for instance desalination plant and gas turbine inlet air cooling.

Mathematical models based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics are the starting point for any analysis but performance criteria based on the concept of Exergy are not generally understood or well applied.”

This special issue will give authors the opportunity to disseminate their recent findings and developments in Exergy studies with the aim to share through the global media the current state of the art in Exergy research and analysis applied to Energy Systems.
Authors wishing to submit manuscripts can do now via the MPDI website up until the deadline of 30th April 2012.

Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Authors are also encouraged to send their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the editorial office at energies@mdpi.com
