Utilizing a central-porous medium for a liquid fuel film combustor
is an effective method to increase the contact surface area and
conduction heat transfer for liquid fuel vaporization and flame
stabilization. Based on this concept, a meso-scale liquid fuel film
combustor with a central porous inlet was theoretically analyzed
and confirmed its feasibility. The effects of porous material type
and bead size on the flame structures and combustion
characteristics are examined. Porous media made of stainless steel
and bronze are tested in the meso- scale combustor with different
fuel and air flow rates, equivalence ratios, and bead sizes. The
flame structure and its corresponding stabilization mechanism are
different between the stainless steel and the bronze porous media
combustor. Eventually, applying the present central-porous fuel-
film combustor in TPV system was demonstrated. An infrared thermal
tube replaces the chamber wall of fuel-film combustor and doubles
as an emitter. Integrating commercial PV cells with the infrared
thermal combustor was tested and examined by the I-V analyzer.
