Static
Fuel Evaporator [Details]
Researcher:
Brenda Haendler
Overview: The goal of this research is to investigate the phase
change characteristics of hydrocarbon fuels in microchannels and to apply
this knowledge to the design of an evaporator and an intake manifold for
the MEMS REPS. This project is specifically targeting a system that
holds steady the phase change front, which is currently unstable in
constant diameter channels.
