Vol. 5 No. 1 (2026): February 2026 Issue

The February 2026 issue of Future Energy Journal brings together diverse research addressing advances in energy conversion, thermal management, sustainable fuels, and the evolving global energy landscape. This issue highlights the influence of piston bowl geometry on combustion performance and emissions in dual-fuel engines, alongside investigations into ammonia as a promising hydrogen carrier through large-eddy simulations under varying air-staging conditions. Complementing these studies are numerical analyses of advanced heat transfer enhancement using TiO₂-water nanofluids, twisted tapes, and conical ring inserts, as well as investigations of MHD mixed convection in oriented elliptic geometries using Al₂O₃-water nanofluids. On a broader scale, the issue examines the expansion of BRICS and its implications for renewable energy adoption, with particular attention to hydrogen energy, reflecting the growing intersection of energy technology, efficiency, sustainability, and global energy policy.
