<h2>Procedure followed to design and construct the cooking Stove</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
Design a prototype unit, based on interviews with Zimbabwe residents who are affected by IAP.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Test the:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul class="test2">
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Alternative Hypothesis: A easy to construct, low-cost cooking system will significantly reduce IAP.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Null Hypothesis: A low-cost cooking system will not significantly reduce IAP.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>

|

<h2>Key Variables:</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul class="test">
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Independent: Cooking method- Traditional hearth, Clean cooking system, Amount of fuel burned</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Dependent: Cooking particulate residue (weight), Carbon Monoxide concentration, Temperature of
|
|
|
|
|
stove</li>
|
|
|
|
|
</ul>
|

|
<h2>Experimental Procedure</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<ul class="test3">
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Burn constant amount of fuel using both cooking methods (Open fire vs IAP Reduction Unit) </li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Measure weight of particulate residue from the smoke collected by HEPA filter</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Measure concentration of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and heat at set time intervals.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Compare weight of fuel residue, CO concentrations and heat generated..</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>An infrared temperature thermometer at the different parts of the unit with respect to time</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>A simple chimney with filter paper is designed to measure the weight of carbon and particulates per
|
|
|
|
|
unit time. </li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>A CO meter is used to measure the concentrations of CO present throughout the burning process</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Determine if there a significant difference in IAP and combustion efficiency between the traditional
|
|
|
|
|
and IAP Reduction cooking system</li>
