Enhancing Thermal Performance, Exergy and Thermodynamics Efficiency of Premixed Methane/Air Micro-Planar Combustor in Micro-Thermophotovoltaic Systems

The present work numerically investigates the effect of a cavity implemented in a premixed methane/air micro-combustor on enhancing its thermal performances and thermodynamic efficiencies for micro-thermophotovoltaic applications. The 3D time-domain numerical model is first validated by comparing it...
