Performance Evaluation of a Save 80 Wood Stove using Controlled Cooking Test Method
Abstract: In this research, the performance evaluation of four selected cook stoves has been conducted. The wood stoves are: the traditional, three stone stove, the locally fabricated wood stove, the single hole improved wood stove and the save 80 energy efficient wood stove. These are respectively arranged in the ascending order of their improved technology in design and development. A weighed amount of fuel wood 2 kg was used to cook …

Simulation of Biomass Gasification in Downdraft Gasifier Using Aspen Plus
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Generating electrical energy through biomass has advantages besides achieving self-sustainability. Biomass is particularly useful for agriculture dependent economy nations like India. Energy conversion systems based on biomass are particularly interesting because biomass utilization effectively closes the carbon cycle. A comprehensive process model is developed for biomass gasification in an atmospheric fixed bed rector using the ASPEN PLUS simulator. An original equilibrium gasification …

A MAED Model Analysis of Biomass and Biofuels Demand in Nigeria
Abstract: Biomass forms 85% of the energy resources commonly utilized for cooking and heating in the rural areas of Nigeria where about 60% of the population lives. The total consumption of biomass in Nigeria grows from 153 million tons in 2007 to 160 million tons in 2009. Hitherto, the demand for energy from biomass resources keeps increasing despite efforts to introduce the use of biofuels. Also, the supply failed to meet …

Evaluation of Food Cooking by Heat Generation by Wide Angle Solar Concentrator
Abstract: In our daily life, we use many types of energy sources like electricity, coal, wood and LPG for preparation of food. The main problem regarding these fuels is that they are non-renewable and polluting. With increasing population and increased usage rate, these fuels are being depleted more and more rapidly and also their prices are getting high. So, there should be an alternative for the energy source regarding this depleting …
