Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for generating hot gases based on catalyzation involving flowing catalyst. Catalysis occurs in a flow-type mixing catalyzation channel in which a liquid catalyst mixes with a liquid reactant flowing in a desired flow regime, such as a striated (laminar) flow regime or a slug flow regime. Devices such as micro-thrusters for satellite and other applications and hot gas generators for powering another device, such as an electrical generator, can be made using one or more flow-type mixing catalyzation channels.
