| dc.description.abstract | This thesis discusses the design and characteristics of an actuated poppet valve hydrogen peroxide and silver catalyst reactor that can be used to generate compressed gas to use for self-powered robotic systems. The reactor’s poppet valve conceals and reveals the silver catalyst to control the reaction. The sealing performance of the valve at working pressures are crucial to the accurate control of the reactor itself. This thesis discusses various design variations of the sealing poppet head and how they can improve performance given various design goals. | |
