Abstract

A model for simulating a charcoal cook stove is proposed. We develop mass and energy balances and evaluate these in terms of variations of temperature in the combustion zone with time during combustion. The model is used to predict the combustion rate of charcoal. For semi-empirical use, a correlation has been established between air velocity and temperature. The pressure drop across the charcoal bed was found to be negligibly small. The model yields results in good agreement with experimental values. The charcoal-combustion rate is an exponential function of time.
