1. ABSTRACT
The push toward the miniaturization of electromechanical devices and the
resulting need for micropower generation (milliwatts to watts) with low-
weight,long-life devices has led to the recent development of field of microscale
combustion. The high energy density of hydrogen and hydrocarbonfuels creates
a great opportunityto develop combustionbased micro-power generation systems
to meet increasing demands for portable power devices, micro
unmanned aerial vehicles, micro-satellite thrusters, and micro chemical reactors
and sensors. The field is also driven by the potential fabrication of the devices
using microelectromechanical systems or rapid prototyping techniques, with their
favourable characteristics for mass production and low cost.This seminar
focusses on the various technological issues related to micro-scale combustion
and the various systems currently being developed.The methods to improve the
performance of H2 based combustors is also explored.
