Due to the advances in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), factory and plant process
automation systems are being reinvented. WSN-based industrial applications often cost …

Mixing in microchannels is an important problem because the flow is always laminar flow
even though the velocity may be high. The present paper analyzes the inherent factors …

The objective of this paper is to study hydrogen-assisted catalytic combustion of
hydrocarbon on a microscale experimentally. In the experiment, neither methane nor ethane …

With growing public interest in portable electronics such as micro fuel cells, micro gas total
analysis systems, and portable medical devices, the need for miniaturized air pumps with …

We present the octant flux splitting DSMC method as an efficient method for simulating non-
equilibrium flows of rarefied gas, particularly those arising from thermal loading. We discuss …

In order to improve the stability of combustion and the working performance of the micro-
combustor, this paper focuses on the effects of inlet parameters such as inlet temperature …

In the present paper, results from the development of a meso/micro scale liquid-propellant
thruster are reported along with a discussion of the usage of microthrusters in small …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate combustion characteristics for rotary engine via
numerical studies. A 3D numerical model was developed to study the influence of several …
