Heat Transfer and Flow of a Gel Fuel in Corrugated Channels

Heat Transfer and Flow of a Gel Fuel in Corrugated Channels

For propulsion systems using gel fuels, reducing the gel fuel viscosity is essential for achieving better atomization and combustion. In this paper, we investigate the flow and heat transfer in a water-gel with a temperature and shear dependent viscosity. We consider several different channels, mimi...
