Recent advances in microfabrication technologies have enabled the development of entirely new classes of small-scale devices with applications in
fields ranging from biomedicine, to wireless communication and computing,
to reconnaissance, and to augmentation of human function. In many cases,
however, what these devices can actually accomplish is limited by the low
energy density of their energy storage and conversion systems.
This breakthrough book brings together in one place the information necessary to develop the high energy density combustion-based power sources
that will enable many of these devices to realize their full potential. Engineers and scientists working in energy-related fields will find:
• An overview of the fundamental physics and phenomena of microscale
combustion;
• Presentations of the latest modeling and simulation techniques for gasphase and catalytic micro-reactors;
• The latest results from experiments in small-scale liquid film, microtube, and porous combustors, micro-thrusters, and micro heat engines;
• An assessment of the additional research necessary to develop
compact and high energy density energy conversion systems that are
truly practical.
Yiguang Ju is the Robert Porter Patterson professor in the Department
of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University. His research interests include combustion, micropower generation, alternative
fuels, plasma assisted combustion, combustion kinetics, and multiscale
modeling. He is an ASME Fellow, a recipient of the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel
Research Award, and has 160 journal publications.
Christopher Cadou is a Keystone professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland. His research interests include combustion, miniature energy conversion systems, laser diagnostics,
fuel cells, and supersonic film cooling. He has authored over 90 articles in
books, journals, and conference proceedings.
Kaoru Maruta is a professor and deputy director of Innovative Energy
Research Center in the Institute of Fluid Science at Tohoku University, Japan
and a Head of International Combustion and Energy Laboratory, School of
Engineering, Far Eastern Federal University, Russia. His research interests
include new concept combustion technology, microcombustion, combustion
in microgravity, and combustion with higher exergy efficiency. He is on the
editorial boards of major combustion journals, a recipient of the Ichimura
Award and has published 85 journal articles.

Abstract
Recent advances in microfabrication technologies have enabled the development of entirely
new classes of small-scale devices with applications in fields ranging from biomedicine
(portable defibrillators, drug delivery systems, etc.), to wireless communication and computing
(cell phones, laptop computers, etc.), to reconnaissance (unmanned air vehicles, microsatellites
etc.), and to augmentation of human function (exoskeletons etc.). In many cases, however,
what these devices can actually accomplish is limited by the low energy density of their energy
storage and conversion systems.
This breakthrough book brings together in one place the information necessary to develop
the high energy density combustion-based power sources that will enable many of these devices
to realize their full potentials. Engineers and scientists working in energy-related fields will find
here:
• An overview of the fundamental physics and phenomena of microscale combustion;
• Presentations of the latest modeling and simulation techniques for gas-phase and catalytic
micro-reactors;
• The latest results from experiments in small-scale liquid film, micro-tube, and porous
combustors, micro-thrusters, and micro heat engines;
• An assessment of the additional research necessary to develop compact and high energy
density energy conversion systems that are truly practical
