Proceedings of the 2015 Asia-Pacific Energy Equipment Engineering Research Conference

The 2015 Asia-Pacific Energy Equipment Engineering Research Conference (AP3ER 2015) will be held in Zhuhai, China on June 13-14, 2015. AP3ER 2015 aims to bring together innovative academics and industrial experts in the field of energy equipment engineering research to a common forum. The primary goal of the conference is to promote research and developmental activities in energy equipment engineering research and another goal is to promote scientific information exchange between researchers, developers, engineers, students, and practitioners working all around the world.

The conference will be held every year to make it an ideal platform for people to share views and experiences in energy equipment engineering research and related areas. We invite original papers describing an idea or concept, addressing issues and problems, or focusing empirically on potential or realistic fields.

AP3ER 2015 has received about 300 papers from 5 countries and regions. The papers come from both academia and industry concentrating on the international flavor of this event in the topics of Energy Equipment Engineering Research. Based on the peer review reports, 127 papers were accepted to be presented in AP3ER 2015 by the editors. All the accepted papers have been presented on the conference, mainly by oral presentations in six sessions: Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Systems, New Materials and Advanced Materials, Energy Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Energy Science and Engineering, Advanced Design Technology and Energy Economy and Management.

We sincerely express our thanks to all the members of the 2015 Asia-Pacific Energy Equipment Engineering Research Conference (AP3ER 2015). Thanks are also given to Atlantis Press for producing this volume. We hope that AP3ER 2015 will be successful and enjoyable to all participants.
