The demand for energy sources that are compact, lightweight and powerful has significantly
increased in recent years. Traditional chemical batteries which are highly developed are …

The hetero-/homogeneous steady combustion and the stability limits of methane-fueled
catalytic microreactors (Pt-coated) have been investigated numerically in a 1-mm-gap …

This paper presents a multidisciplinary design algorithm of the ultra-high-speed electrical
machine (UHSEM). Presented algorithm enables UHSEM design with a rotational speed of …

The main driver for small scale turbomachinery in domestic heat pumps is the potential for
reaching higher efficiencies than volumetric compressors currently used and the potential for …

A detailed parametric study is undertaken in this chapter, using a full elliptic 2-D CFD code
for both gas-phase and solid domains, in order to delineate the stable combustion regimes …

We experimentally investigate the feasibility of a 500-W class ultra-micro gas turbine power
generator. System specifications include a design rotational speed of 400,000 rpm, a …

Transient simulations have been performed in a plane-channel, methane-fueled
microreactor made of either cordierite or FeCr alloy walls and coated with a platinum …

The result of experimental and numerical study that was undertaken to determine the
performance characteristics of viscous flow turbines is presented. It is anticipated that these …

As a major component and work unit of micro gas turbine, the performance of micro turbine
directly determines the realizability of micro gas turbine. In order to explore the feasibility, to …

The ever-increasing demand for more efficient energy conversion has placed designers
under increasing pressure to develop processing equipment that can meet contemporary …
