Design, Fabrication and Performance Evaluation of Domestic Gas Oven

Abstract

A study, to design, fabricate and performance evaluation of the domestic gas oven was carried. The oven was designed and was fabricated with an outer dimension of 450 mm length × 350 mm width × 380 mm height made up stainless steel and the inner dimension of 380 mm length × 310 mm width × 340 mm height made up of aluminum sheet and silicone rubber and asbestos used as an insulator. The gas burner was fixed in the stand for baking and the deflector plate placed in the bottom of the baking chamber and the bimetallic thermometer was fixed in the oven and provided with the vent for the removal of humid air. The oven was tested in order to determine its function the model works on natural convection. The effectiveness was analyzed by baking cake, cookies and muffins. Results showed that the cake was baked in 28 min at a temperature of 180˚C it depends on the size of the cake, cookies took 10 min at a temperature of 150˚C and the muffins were baked in 13min at a temperature of 180˚C showing higher energy efficiency by reducing the energy, cost and the time of baking.
