The cooling scheme for inert gas exhausting from a small gas turbine engine is presented and its performance, including the gas injector and regenerator, are investigated. A distributed, nonlinear mathematical model used to study the processes in regenerative heat exchangers is also described. An integral scheme of a conjugated problem of a non-stationary heat exchange of both one-dimensional streams and a two-dimensional matrix wall are presented. Comparison of test calculations made using the developed program with experimental data of different authors has shown satisfactory agreement. The extensive study results of quasistationary, dynamic heat and aerodynamic processes in regenerators with four types of matrices are introduced: ceramic matrix with straight rectangular cross-sectioned channels and three types of packings — granite full-spheres, Raschig rings and meshes of stainless steel. For each type of matrix, optimum range of rotation speeds ensures the maximum effectiveness while allowing the minimum aerodynamic resistance to be determined.

In this study, we use numerical methods to examine microslug formation via converging flows of a liquid propellant and inert gas at a 4-way 90° microchannel junction. The primary goal of this study is to characterize microslug formation in a microchannel using the level set method to model the multiphase flow. The significance of this work lies in the utilization of the microslug formation phenomena as the basis for a fuel injection system in a novel, discrete monopropellant microthruster design for use in next-generation nano-satellites.
