Abstract
This investigation aims to develop a device that meets the specific requirements of energy-intensive household cooking tasks, such as the nixtamalization process. In particular, a pot-type biomass stove is designed and built. A computer-aided design (CAD) model of the stove was created, followed by a metal prototype. Thermal performance was evaluated by means of numerical simulations as well as experimental thermographic images. The numerical and experimental results were compared, and the quantitative correlation was found to be in good agreement. The results show that this stove can handle energy-intensive cooking tasks like nixtamalization of maize. The development of this stove resulted in significant improvements in thermal efficiency and fuel consumption when compared to conventional stoves.
期刊介绍:
Energy Science & Engineering is a peer reviewed, open access journal dedicated to fundamental and applied research on energy and supply and use. Published as a co-operative venture of Wiley and SCI (Society of Chemical Industry), the journal offers authors a fast route to publication and the ability to share their research with the widest possible audience of scientists, professionals and other interested people across the globe. Securing an affordable and low carbon energy supply is a critical challenge of the 21st century and the solutions will require collaboration between scientists and engineers worldwide. This new journal aims to facilitate collaboration and spark innovation in energy research and development. Due to the importance of this topic to society and economic development the journal will give priority to quality research papers that are accessible to a broad readership and discuss sustainable, state-of-the art approaches to shaping the future of energy. This multidisciplinary journal will appeal to all researchers and professionals working in any area of energy in academia, industry or government, including scientists, engineers, consultants, policy-makers, government officials, economists and corporate organisations.
