Design Analysis of a Pressurized Kerosene Stove with an Integrated Oven
Resumen
This research aims to describe the design and fabrication of a pressurized kerosene stove with an integrated oven, as well as suggest improvements to existing models of pressurized kerosene stoves. The design includes a cylindrical tank for kerosene storage, a pressure gauge for measuring internal tank pressure, and a valve for controlling fuel flow. Pipes connect the tank to the burners, and replaceable pipe filters are installed to prevent dirt from entering, ensuring a steady blue flame.
Additional features include appliance rollers with brakes for easy movement and stability, and an oven equipped with a thick transparent glass panel for viewing the oven chamber. A thermometer is also installed to monitor the oven’s internal temperature.
When a pressure of 3 N/m² is applied to the cylinder, it produces a kerosene flow rate of 4.71 × 10⁻⁶ m³/s, generating approximately 179.922 kJ of heat energy per second. Based on calculations, the effective heat energy within the oven is 179.644 kW.
