Design, Construction and Testing of an Improved Solid Biofuel Based Stove

Abstract

Bangladesh is facing overwhelming energy challenges that are likely to increase over the next few decades. By acknowledging the potential of renewable energy technologies and associated energy storage, Bangladesh could meet its unprecedented energy demand. Our goal is to design a project that involves the development of an biofuel stove that would use a battery as a source of power. The electricity and gas shortages in Bangladesh are strong motivators for an electric stove to replace the normal stoves. A stove has been made in the project. An 18-liter tin container was used as the material for making the stove. MS sheet, cement, sand, water. Pipes have been used to give the shape of the stove. 3 holes have been placed in the stove. One will let air in, another will burn it. And the remaining ash will be taken out with another. The work of our project is that we have used 4 types of fuel (Leaf, Jute Chalk, Coconut Husk and Wood) here. And to see how high temperature can be reached with which fuel. And to see, a display and Google Sheet will be created. Maximum temperature when burn dried Leaf, Jute Chalk, Dried Coconut Husk, lightly dry Wood are respectively 400 °C, 550 °C, 993°C, 750°C and Lightly Wet Leaf, Lightly Wet Jute Chalk, Wet Coconut Husk, lightly wet Wood are respectively 302°C, 450°C, 700°C, 729°C. Also here put Leaf, Jute Chalk, Coconut Husk and Wood are respectively 110 gm, 500 gm, 500 gm and 450 gm for burning. Keywords: Burner, Wi-Fi Microcontroller, Thermocouple Temperature Sensor, LCD.
