Abstract
Porous media combustion is a combustion technology based on heating the
ceramic material by using various gas to supply heat. The main purpose of the
experiment was to gain data on the temperature from the porous media and value of
voltage, current and power that produced by thermoelectric power generator peltier.
As for proper project that based on fabricate model, CAD drawing that based on the
actual products of fabricated model has been done. The CAD model has seven parts
which are porous media, heatsink, ceramic material, thermoelectric power generator
peltier, porcelain foam, burner, and butane gas. There is also exploded view in the
CAD drawing to show actual positions of the parts. For the actual fabricated model,
few parts fabricate by using few tools. Mini hand saw used to cut the cylinder and
square shape of aluminum metal. However, cylindrical mild steel metal cut using saw
machine. Mild steel metal welded to the burner and two part of aluminum metal of
porous media welded by using MIG machine. Ceramic material put inside the square
shape aluminum metal with the used of wire net in order to prevent the ceramic to
move. Then, four thermoelectric power generator peltier stick to every side of porous
media by using thermal plaster glue and same goes to four heatsink that stick after the
thermoelectric power generator peltier in order to cool the thermoelectric power
generator peltier from other side. The analysis done is to gain the moderate electrical
power production from thermoelectric power generator peltier at stable temperature
since porous media can retain heat at longer period of time.
