Plasma-coupled microcombustion
"Microcombustion, releasing the chemical energy in a sub-millimeter scale flame, has the potential to provide a high energy density portable power source. Microburners have not realized this potential because of detrimental thermal and chemical surface effects. Investigation of macro-scale (>mm) …

A study on micro-scale combustion
Based on a review of microcombustion, the objectives of this study are set up. To achieve these objectives, several steps such as scale analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental investigations have been applied to combustion in a cylindrical microcombustor. Scale analysis helps to specify …

Development of a high power density combustion system for a silicon micro gas turbine engine
… first experimental demonstration of hydrocarbon microcombustion with power density levels of 500 MW/m 3 and 140 MW/m 3 for ethylene-air and propane-air combustion, respectively. In addition to the development of the two combustion devices, this thesis also presents simple analytical models to …

Experimental and computational investigation of combustion phenomena in mesoscale ducts
Experimental and computational investigations of the flame phenomenology in mesoscale tubes were performed. Particular emphasis was given to oscillating flames, a phenomenon in which a flame front undergoes a periodic cycle of upstream propagation, extinction, and downstream re-ignition. Fuel-rich …
