<h1>Conclusion</h1>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The results disproves the null hypothesis in the tested configuration. The clean cooking
|
||||||
|
apparatus does reduce IAP. Therefore, the next step will to be improve the design of the IAP
|
||||||
|
Reduction Stove so that it best suits the people who need it the most. The next step will be
|
||||||
|
building a full-scale prototype with the hood and chimney to test the cut and fold patterns
|
||||||
|
and the minimum gage steel that can be used.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
After building the prototype it is then installed in a unit dwelling with a steel roof or thatched
|
||||||
|
roof to determine its usefulness and efficiency in the real world.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
I will also look for partners to create the units and a website where those who have installed
|
||||||
|
a unit can upload their experiences and suggested improvements (and their improved layout
|
||||||
|
patterns). This adopts the highly-successful approach of crowdsourcing, whereby products
|
||||||
|
are continually improved by their users. This enables the basic approach to be refined for
|
||||||
|
different climates, cultures and lifestyles. Examples of this include Waze, which collects
|
||||||
|
traffic data for use by everyone, MacDonalds and Starbucks, who collect user ideas to
|
||||||
|
improve their products, and the publicly maintained software UNIX operating system,
|
||||||
|
(Berkeley Standard Distribution - BSD), and its descendent, Linux, which is installed on over
|
||||||
|
32.8 million systems and on 1.6 billion Android phones worldwide (99 Firms 2022).

<h2> Design of Combustion Chamber: </h2>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The combustion chamber is designed in a
|
||||||
|
rectangular prism shape. In the combustion chamber fuel (wood pieces) are
|
||||||
|
combusted. It was observed that inner chamber became red hot. To reduce
|
||||||
|
the heat losses from inner chamber, a jacket of coarse sand and heat
|
||||||
|
resistance refractory material was added (Fire Clay). As shown in the figure
|
||||||
|
to the right.

<h1>The Inexpensive IAP Reduction System</h1>

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 2.6 billion people
|
||||||
|
cook and heat using polluting open fires or simple stoves fuelled by kerosene,
|
||||||
|
biomass (wood, animal dung and crop waste) and coal (Air Pollution Data Portal,
|
||||||
|
n.d.). This generates high levels of health-damaging Indoor Air Pollution
|
||||||
|
(IAP), such as particulates, tar and carbon monoxide. Because women are
|
||||||
|
primarily responsible for cooking and raising young children, both are
|
||||||
|
disproportionately affected by IAP. For example, the World Health Report (2002)
|
||||||
|
states that in developing countries among the poor, Acute Respiratory Infection
|
||||||
|
(ARI) is one of the leading causes of childhood mortality (under 5) and is
|
||||||
|
responsible for up to 33% of all ARI cases. IAP also adversely affects Zimbabwe
|
||||||
|
because of the number of people who live in poor, rural regions. (Rural
|
||||||
|
Population (67% of Total Population…2020) - Zimbabwe | Data, n.d.).
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
A second problem caused by open or traditional heaths is the inefficient use of fuel. Past efforts to
|
||||||
|
reduce IAP have focused on efficient combustion but have not necessarily focused on thermal efficiency
|
||||||
|
of the overall cooking and heating process. As a result, a significant portion of the fuel's energy is lost,
|
||||||
|
leading to increased levels of deforestation. In parallel, people who are faced with the challenge of
|
||||||
|
indoor air pollution are from low-income communities which makes it very difficult for them to afford
|
||||||
|
expensive clean cooking stoves. Most of the existing solution focus only on reduction of Indoor Air
|
||||||
|
Pollution, but fall short on distribution the solution to billions of people who need it.

||||||

|
Because of the above issues, the engineering goal of this experiment is to create pattern designs of creating an
|
||||||
|
affordable, simple, and efficient cooking system whose design is based on origami. Origami is the Japanese
|
||||||
|
technique of creating complex 3-dimensional objects from flat sheets of paper. All that is needed to make a well
|
||||||
|
known object such as a Crane, Cube or Lion is the pattern and a piece of paper. Likewise, the clean cooking
|
||||||
|
system's components will be fabricated from flat metal sheets using simple folds and cuts, enabling them to be
|
||||||
|
made worldwide without complex fabrication techniques. Additionally, if a component;s pattern is known, it can
|
||||||
|
produce it using locally available material and tools. This reduces or eliminates funding and production
|
||||||
|
bottlenecks that have limited the impact of prior efforts when attempting to produce and distribute billions of
|
||||||
|
units worldwide.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Since many regions that suffer from indoor air pollution also have electricity shortages, the practicality of using
|
||||||
|
the thermoelectric chips to generate electricity from the cooking stove's waste heat is evaluated. Its cost per watt
|
||||||
|
hour is compared to alternatives such as simple solar panels with local storage (batteries or super capacitors.)

<h1>Results</h1>
|
||||||
|
<p>For the experimental results the IAP reduction cook stove was compared to an open traditional fire in terms of
|
||||||
|
temperature carbon monoxide concentration and weight of particulates and tar released.</p>
