EditorialDevelopments in sustainable energy and environmental protection
Introduction
The 3rd International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Environmental Protection SEEP 2009 which was held at Dublin City University “DCU” between 12th and 15th August 2009. The conference provided a forum for presenting research papers by internationally recognised experts and young scientists working in the sustainable energy and environmental protection field. In SEEP2009, about 135 papers were presented, 45 papers were invited to submit an extended version to Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory Journal or to the Energy Journal. After peer review, 10 papers were selected to be published as a special issue in the Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory Journal and 14 papers were selected to be published as a special issue in the Energy Journal.
This issue includes 10 articles which implement simulation and modelling for different sustainable energy and environmental protection aspects. These topics can be described as:
- -
Three dimensional/one dimensional numerical correlation study of a three-pass perforated tube [1].
- -
Heat pipe-based radiator for low grade geothermal energy conversion in domestic space heating [2].
- -
Evaluation of thermal energy storage and recovery for an electrical energy mediator system [3].
- -
Analysis of the overall efficiency of a PEFC with a bio-ethanol-solar-reforming system for individual houses [4].
- -
Controllability of buildings, a multi-input multi-output stability assessment method for buildings with slow acting heating systems [7].
- -
Energy performance and degradation over 20 years performance of BP c-SI PV modules [10].
- -
Numerical study of the mixture formation process in a four-stroke gdi engine for two-wheel applications [11].
- -
Development of a theoretical decoupled stirling cycle engine [12].
- -
Study on Lake Izvorul Muntelui rehabilitation [14].
- -
A fire risk simulation system for multi-purpose building based fire statistics [15].

Content details
As described above, the first paper presents a study on the three dimensional/one dimensional numerical correlation study of a three-pass perforated tube. In this paper [1], the noise attenuation characteristics of a typical perforated muffler for automotive applications were investigated. Acoustic performances are quantified by the Transmission Loss (TL) parameter, which only depends on the geometrical characteristics of the device. The acoustic behaviour of a typical three-pass perforated
Conclusions and remarks
In this special issue of the international conference of sustainable energy and environmental protection SEEP2009, all the above topics have been presented and discussed, which cover some important points related to the conference scope. Simulation and Modelling is very important aspect to improve the energy efficiency. It can be concluded that more research and developments are needed to tackle the energy problem and to reduce the emission, for reasonable standard of living for our world.
