    1. Solid Fuel Development for Gas-Generating Microactuators Heather Hude April 7th, 2003

    2. Presentation Outline Project motivation Thesis objectives Background information Experimental procedures & results Fuel preparation Thermal analysis Burn time testing Gas generation testing Conductive fuel testing Summary Conclusions Acknowledgments Questions???

    3. Project Motivation Development of a combustion-based microactuator to produce controlled gas jets Utilize solid fuel to ease fabrication Exhibit control over production of jets Applications Rapid jet firing for projectile guidance Primary focus Prolonged gas generation

    4. Thesis Objectives Identify MEMS processing compatible solid fuels capable of creating gas jets Develop handling and processing techniques Tailor the nature of the fuel so as to trade off between raw explosive power and chemical controllability Map out a wide range of fuels from slow, low energy gas production to high energy, rapid decomposition Develop test methods to characterize various solid fuels
