“…Its thermal efficiency was around 22.82%. Due to mixed fuel it gives almost 3% less thermal efficiency than earlier studies reported by Panwar et al [14]. An improved biomass cookstove is in position to save 700 kg of fuel wood per year [15].…”

In this study, SPRERI gasifier stove and double pot improved household cookstove were tested with Jatropha shell. Thermal performance and pollutant emissions during water boiling test were evaluated. Jatropha shell combust properly in SPRERI gasifier stove and thermal efficiency was recorded about 31.10%. In case of double pot improved cookstove mixed fuel (1:1) Jatropha shell and babul wood was used for testing and its thermal efficiency was about 22.88%. Lower pollutant emissions were recorded in double pot improved cookstove as compared to SPRERI gasifier stove. Developed stove have acceptable durability, affordable cost, and meet needs of domestic energy requirement. Results of this study may be useful for improving the design of existing stoves and for developing new stove designs. Implications of better agro residue based cookstoves are improved human health, reduced fuel use, reduced deforestation, and reduced global climate change, apart from recovery energy from such agro residues which are not used as animal feed and are disposed off under non-hygienic conditions.Keywords Emissions Á Improved cookstove Á Thermal efficiency Á Jatropha shell List of symbols g Efficiency of cookstove (%) M Total quantity of water heated at desired temperature (90°C) in kg, excluding the quantity of water heated in the last pot = (No. of pots of water heated 9 quantity of water used each time in kg) C p Specific heat of the water (1 kcal/kg) T x Maximum temperature at which water was heated, (i.e. 90°C) T w Initial temperature of water (°C) m Quantity of water taken in last pot (kg) T b Highest temperature of water attained in the last pot (°C) M 1 Total amount of water evaporated (kg) H Latent heat of vaporization (586.4359 kcal/kg) W Amount of fuel burnt (kg) H c Calorific value of the fuel used (wood/briquette) (kcal/kg)

“…Too much excess air will produce useless excess heat, which will be absorbed by the inert gases then flow and discharged through the chimney into the environment. The stove with multi pot system also requires a chimney [17]. The natural draught of the chimney serves to draw the flue gas and flow it through each pot.…”

Abstract. This paper presents the results of numerical modelling of temperature distribution and flow pattern in a biomass cooking stove using CFD simulation. The biomass stove has been designed to suite the household cooking process. The stove consists of two pots. The first is the main pot located on the top of the combustion chamber where the heat from the combustion process is directly received. The second pot absorbs the heat from the exhaust gas.A chimney installed at the end of the stove releases the exhaust gas to the ambient air. During the tests, the height of chimney was varied to find the highest temperatures at both pots. Results showed that the height of the chimney at the highest temperatures of the pots is 1.65 m. This chimney height was validated by developing a model for computational fluid dynamics. Both experimental and simulations results show a good agreement and help in tune-fining the design of biomass cooking stove.

“…Jankes and Milovanovic (2001) reported about the common usage of biomass in low capacity boilers or furnaces, local household cooking or farm heating, which is the simplest and cheapest way. The combustion process in such traditional devices is non-ideal and favoring incomplete combustion (Panwar et al 2009) that leads to the formation of pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO x ), aldehydes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and primary and secondary particles (Bhattacharya et al 2000;Miah et al 2009). …”

“…Therefore, improved cooking stove (ICS) has been emerged as an alternative fuel efficient cooking device in rural communities of many developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America (Westhoff and Germann 1995). On an average, an ICS is in position to save 700 kg of fuel wood per year (Kishore and Ramana 2002) and about 161 kg of CO2 annually (Panwar et al 2009). …”

Use of biomass fuel in traditional cooking stove (TCS) is the long-established practice that exhibits incomplete combustion and generates substances with global warming potential (GWP). Improved cooking stove (ICS) has been developed worldwide as an alternative household fuel burning device, a climate change mitigation strategy as well. A study was conducted in the female Forest User Groups (FUGs) of Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary, Bangladesh to assess the status of ICS disseminated by the Forest Department (FD) under Nishorgo Support Project along with the community's biomass fuel consumption pattern. Consumption of wood fuel was highest (345 kg month-1 household-1) followed by agricultural residues (60 kg month-1 household-1), tree-leaves (51 kg month-1 household-1) and cow-dung (25 kg month-1 household-1). Neighboring forest of the sanctuary was revealed as the core source for wood fuel with little or no reduction in the extraction even after joining the FUG. Twenty two species, both indigenous and introduced, were found in preference for wood fuel by the community.None of the respondents were found willing to use ICS although 43% of them owned it; either as the status symbol or to meet the condition of the FD to continue membership in FUG. Seven negative features of the disseminated ICS were identified by the households that made them unwilling to use it further. Manufacturing faults may be responsible for the ICS's demerits and FD's negligence was liable to the failure of convincing the community. A proper examination of the disseminated ICS's efficacy is crucial with active involvement of the community members. The Sustainable Energy Triangle Strategy (SETS) could be implemented for this purpose. Findings of the study would be of immense importance in designing the strategy for the introduction of ICS in Bangladesh.
