Abstract: A transient heat and mass transfer model is formulated to describe radiative heating of ceramic precursor droplets in a nonconvective environment. Heating causes vaporization of solvent from the ...

Abstract: A comprehensive model based on finite volume method was developed to analyze the heat-up and the melting of ceramic particles injected into a microwave excited laminar air plasma flow field. ...

Abstract: A fiber optic coupled diode laser sensor has been constructed for in situ measurements of water vapor partial pressure in active proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell systems. The bipolar ...
