Electric Power Generation by Super-Adiabatic Combustion in Thermoelectric Porous Element

Combustion in porous media and its applications – A comprehensive survey

“…A new energy conversion method from . combustion heat to electric power had been proposed by Hanamura and Kumano (2003) and Hanamura et al (2005) on the basis of superadiabatic combustion in a pair of thermoelectric porous elements. A mixture of about 1% methane in air was introduced into the elements; where the flow direction changed regularly.…”
