Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to establish the influence of cylinder pressure on the combustion behavior of a pressurized kerosene cook stove. The test was carried out under ambient room conditions, by pressurizing and igniting the cook stove containing kerosene fuel at a maximum pressure of 1 bar. The combustion flame temperature, flame height and structure and colour were carefully measured and recorded from a pressure gauge mounted on the fuel tank, athermocouple, vernier height meter and by direct flame photography. The same process was repeated for vessel pressures of 0.8, 0.6, 0.4, 0.2, and 0 bar after an interval period of two minutes, and for B5, B10, B15, and B20 kerosene oil blends and B100 (i.e. 100%) diesel oil fuel samples respectively. The experiment was replicated for each vessel pressure levels, adulterated fuel samples and their mean result values were analyzed. The results show that combustion temperature and flame height of tested fuel samples are strongly influenced by the vessel pressure, and at maximum pressure, the flame temperatures for B2, B10, B15, B20 fuel blends and diesel fuel are lower than the kerosene by 8.82%, 11.76%, 15.58%, 20.59% and 8.82%. While, the flame height for B5, B15, B20 fuel blends and diesel fuel are higher than the benchmark by 0.22%, 1.11%, 18.89% and 37.77%.
