INVESTIGATION OF THE THERMAL PROPERTIES OF WOOD ASH AND CLAY-SAWDUST MIXTURE FOR USE AS INSULATION MATERIALS IN A ROCKET STOVE
📄 Project Abstract
In recent years there has been an increased awareness to conserve energy through efficient use of fuels, energy saving devices and insulation against heat losses. Consequently, the construction of a rocket stove was undertaken in this research and the thermal property tests for ash and clay-sawdust insulation materials were carried out, after which the effect of these insulation materials on the thermal efficiency of the rocket stove was experimentally determined using cooking tests (water boiling test, control test and kitchen performance test). Both the ash and the clay-sawdust showed the ability to be used as insulators in the rocket stove; having low thermal conductivities (0.2W/mK and 0.16W/mK respectively), high specific heat (889J/kgK and 910J/kgK respectively) and low thermal diffusivity (3.67e-7/m2s and 1.58e-7/m2s respectively). When the ash and clay-sawdust were used in the rocket stove the thermal efficiency of the stove has a value of 21.6% and 22.28% respectively (for col...
