Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Simulation of the Effect of Needle Valve Structures on the Rarefied Flow of Cold Gas Thrusters [PDF]
The needle valve, serving as the flow control unit of the thruster system, is a crucial component of the entire thruster. Its performance directly impacts the flow state of the rarefied gas in the micro-nozzle structure of the cold gas micro-thruster ...

Effects of the Wall Temperature on Rarefied Gas Flows and Heat Transfer in a Micro-Nozzle [PDF]
When the satellite is in orbit, the thruster will experience drastic temperature changes (100–1000 K) under solar radiation, which will affect the rarefied gas flow state in the micro-nozzle structure of the cold gas micro-thruster.

Time-resolved fuel injector flow characterisation based on 3D laser Doppler vibrometry [PDF]
In order to enable investigations of the fuel flow inside unmodified injectors, we have developed a new experimental approach to measure time-resolved vibration spectra of diesel nozzles using a three dimensional laser vibrometer.

Using a side-branched volume to tune the acoustic field in a looped-tube travelling-wave thermoacoustic engine with a RC load [PDF]
Travelling-wave thermoacoustic engine utilises a compact acoustic network to obtain a right time-phasing between the acoustic velocity and pressure oscillations within the regenerator to force gas parcels to experience a Stirling-like thermodynamic cycle.

Generation of charged droplets by field ionization of liquid helium [PDF]
Positively charged helium droplets were produced by ionization of liquid helium in an electrostatic spraying experiment, in which fluid emerging from a thin glass capillary was ionized by applying a high voltage to a needle inside the capillary. At 2.2 K,
