This looks at investigates the have an effect on of burner head geometry on the thermal efficiency, gas consumption, and emission levels of LPG cooking stoves, offering critical insights into how design optimization can enhance stove overall performance. Three burner head designs circular, star-shaped, and multi-port experimentally examined and evaluated through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The multi-port burner tested the best thermal efficiency at 58%, accompanied by means of the superstar-fashioned burner at 54%, and the round burner at 50%. Additionally, the multi-port burner consumed the least fuel, the usage of simplest 45 grams of LPG, in comparison to 48 grams for the famous person-formed and 52 grams for the round burner. Emission evaluation revealed that the multi-port burner had the lowest emissions, producing 160 ppm of CO and 35 ppm of NOx, at the same time as the circular burner exhibited the best emissions, with 220 ppm of CO and 45 ppm of NOx. The big name-shaped burner done fairly, emitting a 180 ppm of CO and 38 ppm of NOx. The improved heat distribution and more efficient air-fuel mixing provided by the multi-port geometry were identified as the primary reasons for its superior performance. These findings spotlight the ability for geometric innovation in burner design to improve the efficiency and environmental effect of LPG stoves, making them extra sustainable and fee-effective. This take a look at gives treasured recommendations for range producers and policymakers aiming to decorate power performance and reduce emissions in home cooking technologies.
