Design Analysis of a Pressurized Kerosene Stove with an Oven
Abstract
This research is aimed at describing the design and fabrication of a pressurized kerosene stove with an oven and ways of improving on already existing pressurized kerosene stoves. The design consists of a tank (cylinder) to store the kerosene, pressure gauge used to measure the pressure in the tank, a valve for controlling fluid (fuel) direction, pipes which runs from the tank to the burners, pipe filters (replaceable ones) used to prevent dirt so as to produce fine steady blue flame. It also has appliance rollers with brakes for easy movement and stability, and of course the oven which has a thick transparent glass to enable the user views the oven chamber and a thermometer to check the temperature. A pressure of 3N/m applied to the cylinder produces 4.71x10-6 m3/s volume of kerosene and 179.922KJ of heat energy per second. Thus, from the calculation the heat in the oven is 179.644KW.
