4. ABSTRACT
L.P.G is the most convenient and clean fuel for domestic use and is very popular in
these days. The LPG stove industry is about 40 years old and is mainly concentrated in the
small-scale sector. LPG is an exceptional energy source due to its origin, relative advantages
and applications. No wonder LPG is known as The Ideal Fuel for Modern Living. With
global availability, environmental benefits, its natural by-product origin, transportation
flexibility and diverse application, LPG plays a pivotal role in the transition towards a more
secure, sustainable and competitive energy model. Considering the limited fossil fuel
resources, energy conservation, environmental issues, increase in the demand on LPG in near
future, it is a necessary to explore the ways to further improve the efficiency and the
emission characteristics of the existing LPG cooking stoves. In the present work, various
works dealt with research in increasing thermal efficiency of stoves using different fuels, and
different burners are studied. This project is focuses on increasing efficiency by replacing a
conventional stand with a newly fabricated stand.
