Comparative analysis of the effectiveness of different charcoal as fuel for domestic purposes

Abstract

The objectives are to study the differences between Charcoal as fuel on Temperature, during the burning time, and Temperature at boiling time. The 500 g of Teak, Pterocarpus macrocarpus, and Cratoxylum Formosum Charcoal were used according to Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The three treatments included T1 = teak charcoal, T2 = Pterocarpus macrocarpus charcoal, and T3 = Cratoxylum Formosum charcoal. The trial period spanned the sampling time of 3 hr for the burning temperature and the boiling temperature was corrected at 15 mn, 20 mn, 30 mn, 40 mn, and 50 mn. The results showed the temperature at burning and completed burning time analysis, significant differences in No of RDF (Pieces) showed a considerable difference P < 0.05 among the experiments higher in teak charcoal T1 and followed by T2 and T3. However, the temperature at the burning time showed a very high significant difference P < 0.05 at 15 mn where T2 and T3 were higher than T1. Moreover, at 30 mn and 1 hr a highly significant difference P < 0.05 at T1 was higher than at T2 and T3. After 2 hr was showed a highly significant difference P < 0.05 at T3, T1 than T2. At the end of heating, energy showed a highly significant difference P < 0.05 at T1 than at T3 and T2. Therefore, Temperature at boiling time from 15 mn, 20 mn, 30 mn, and 40 mn showed a highly significant difference P < 0.05 at T1 than T2 and T3. Therefore, the biomass, and weight of charcoal were affected by the temperature on burning and the temperature at boiling, based on this study charcoal from teak was a highly significant difference and was used for further use on potential bio-residues being utilized as fuel as sustainable energy solutions.
