Microcombustors application

Structured catalysts are used in GT and microcombustor applications because of the severe pressure drop constraints combined with the requirement for a fast rate of... 

The above-mentioned scaling law indicates rapid evaporation of droplets in microsystems because of smaller time constants in comparison to the larger droplets. This can be a disadvantage for LOC applications involving the transport of a small amount of liquids because of the loss of liquid by evaporation during transport. However, it can be an advantage in microcombustor applications, where the evaporation of droplets takes place rapidly. 

Further, the development of miniaturized devices for the generation of power and/ or heat is discussed here as it represents an emerging field of application of catalytic combustion. Due to the presence of the catalytic phase, the microcombustors have the potential to operate at significantly lower temperatures and higher surface-to-volume ratios than non-catalytic microcombustors. This makes them a viable solution for the development of miniaturized power devices as an alternative to batteries. 

EMM can also be effectively utihzed for fabrication of several of microfeatures for a wide range of microengineering applications such as fuel processing, aerospace, heat transfer, microfluidics, and biomedical applications. These microdevices have to often withstand high stresses at elevated temperatures during their service in different applications such as microcombustors, electrochemical reactions required at elevated temperatures in microreactors, and also in microthermal devices. For biomedical applications, microcomponents are to be made of biocompatible materials and...
