Performance Analysis of a Biomass Cookstove with Overfire Steam Injection Using Casuarina Equisetifolia Wood as Fuel

Abstract:

Traditional cooking methods and rocket stoves based on natural principles release high emissions due to the inefficient combustion of solid biomass fuel. Steam injection in combustion enhances combustion efficiency and reduces pollutant emissions. This technique improves stove performance and efficiency without relying on electrical power by leveraging the heat energy from the biomass stove for steam injection. This study evaluates the performance of a biomass stove using steam injection with Casuarina equisetifolia wood as fuel. The experiment varied the volume of steam injection water: 500 ml, 800 ml, and 1,200 ml. Among these, the 500 ml injection volume achieved the fastest boiling time during the high-power phase, taking 11 minutes and 6 seconds, with a thermal power output of 5.8708 kcal/s. The highest thermal efficiency of 51% was observed with the 1,200 ml water injection, accompanied by a specific fuel consumption of 0.0008 kg/s. The best CO emission performance, at 0.77% (7.7 g/kg), was achieved with the 500 ml water injection volume. These results highlight the potential of steam-injected biomass stoves for practical cooking applications.
