Mechanical engineering, Energy efficiency, Scientific innovation, Sustainability, TechnologyAbstract
The growing demand for sustainability, cost reduction, and energy resource optimization has driven significant advances in mechanical engineering, especially in the development of innovative solutions focused on energy efficiency. This article aims to analyze the integration between mechanical engineering, energy efficiency, and scientific innovation, highlighting emerging technologies, modern methodologies, and positive environmental impacts. Through a systematic literature review, strategies aimed at reducing energy consumption, increasing mechanical system performance, and promoting industrial sustainability are discussed. The results indicate that the adoption of intelligent technologies, automation, renewable energy sources, and new materials significantly contributes to operational cost reduction and environmental impact mitigation, consolidating mechanical engineering as one of the pillars of sustainable development.
