High energy density entrainment-based catalytic micro-combustor for portable devices in extreme environmental conditions

The increasing demand for low-cost, high energy density heat sources has motivated the development of compact and lightweight combustion-based devices. In this work, we first optimized the catalytic bed segmentation scheme to enhance fuel management in a mesoscale parallel-plate combustor. After con...
