Flat Plate Boundary Layer Flows Over Catalytic Surfaces for Micro-Combustion Applications
… of intermediate Reynolds numbers that pertain to micro-combustion applications. Methane-air and propane-air mixtures were burnt catalytically at varying, close-to-stoichiometric equivalence ratios. The emphasis was on detecting combustion features that differentiate this flow from similar flows …

Development of a catalytic combustion system for the MIT Micro Gas Turbine Engine
As part of the MIT micro-gas turbine engine project, the development of a hydrocarbon-fueled catalytic micro-combustion system is presented. A conventionally-machined catalytic flow reactor was built to simulate the micro-combustor and to better understand the catalytic combustion at micro-scale. …

Development and experimental analysis of a micro-flame ionization detector for portable gas chromatographs
A portable micro-FID has been developed that utilized a diffusion flame encased in a micro-fabricated SOI structure. The micro-flame was fueled by a portable electrolyzer that provided the hydrogen and oxygen flow rates necessary for the device operation. The micro-FID was able to detect organic …

Experimental investigation of the flow field during combustion in narrow circular ducts
Combustion of methane-oxygen mixtures inside small diameter quartz tubes yielded cycles of ignition, flame propagation, and extinction. This phenomenon was studied with the intent of determining the flow structure that underlay the observed oscillatory motion. The fluid motion during the …
