Next-generation drone needs a high energy density, long life, and light weight portable power source. This work focus on a combined power system consists of micro gas turbine and high-speed generator. In recent years, combustion using porous media has been attracting attention due to factors such as high power output relative to weight. Combustion using porous media offers advantages such as extending the flammability limits and reducing the emission of pollutants. However, it has been found that combustion at the microscale can negatively impact flame stability and other factors.In this study, we conduct experiments on microscale combustion using a liquid fuel with limited research on porous media combustion and potential use as a biofuel - ethanol.
