Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This research project focuses on the design and fabrication of a pressurized kerosene stove. The main aim of this project is to develop a safe, efficient, and affordable cooking solution for households in areas where access to modern energy sources is limited. The design process includes conceptualization, detailed design, and prototype development of the pressurized kerosene stove. The design considerations for the stove include safety features, energy efficiency, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness. The stove is pressurized to improve combustion efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. Safety features such as flame control mechanisms and pressure regulation systems are incorporated to enhance user safety. The stove is designed to be compact and portable for easy transportation and storage. The fabrication process involves selecting high-quality materials that can withstand high temperatures and pressures. The stove components are manufactured using precision machining techniques to ensure a tight fit and optimal performance. Assembly of the stove involves careful calibration of the pressure system and testing of all safety features. The performance of the pressurized kerosene stove is evaluated through laboratory testing and field trials. The stove is tested for fuel efficiency, cooking time, heat output, and emissions. The results of the testing phase are used to fine-tune the design and optimize the stove's performance. Overall, the design and fabrication of the pressurized kerosene stove aim to provide a reliable and cost-effective cooking solution for households in off-grid areas. The stove's safety features, energy efficiency, and portability make it a suitable option for cooking in rural and remote regions where access to electricity and clean cooking fuels is limited. This project contributes to sustainable development goals by promoting clean cooking technologies and reducing reliance on traditional biomass fuels.

Thesis Overview

This project of fabrication of single face pressurized kerosene cooker is a copied design.

It is a manually operated type of stove, which has the capacity of supplying heat energy at high and low temperature. The type of stove so designed here do the industrial type with one burner.

Since the introduction of this pressurized kerosene cooker many effort has been made in order to enhance the ability to function well.

Thus we undertook this project design and fabrication of a single pressurized kerosene stove as a copped design from the popular Japan product (Regular Structural Stove) using locally available material of a 4mm (thickness) sheet metal.

Thus demonstrating the realization and importance of copy technology.
