Abstract: A wave reformer utilizes shock-wave heating resulting from pressure exchange between a driver and a driven (reactant gas) to initiate a thermal decomposition reaction. Although widely applicable to many reactions, this ...

Abstract: Onedimensional waveaction engine models have become an essential tool within engine development including stages of component selection, understanding system interactions, and control strategy development. Simple turbocharger ...

Abstract: In this paper, an additively manufactured (AM) Inconel catalytic combustor was tested in combination with a microwave rotor turbine with nonaxial channels designed for shaft power extraction. This was done in an open-loop ...
