This paper presents a comparative study on thermal performance between a traditional cookstove and an improved cookstove based on energy, exergy and emission. Intending to diminish the use of wood for daily domestic cooking practice in local area, this paper emphasizes on the optimum and efficient utilization of plant-based biomass (peanut shell) as fuel for cookstoves. The thermal and emission performances of two stoves were determined by lab-based water boiling test (WBT). The energy and exergy efficiencies of traditional stove for cold start were 10.70±2.26% and 1.26±0.96%, respectively, whereas those for hot start were 13.21±2.18% and 1.46±1.02%, respectively. Similarly for improved cookstove, the energy and exergy efficiencies were recorded 19.28±1.89% and 3.32±1.11% in cold start condition, and those were 23±1.93% and 4.56±1.23% in hot start condition. The time average values of carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) were recorded as 75±6.21ppm and 7000±1900 µg/m3, respectively for traditional cookstove, and those for improved one were 15±4.89 ppm and the 3806±1175 µg/m3, respectively.

The present experimental investigations deal with the spark plug location and its effect on the performance and emission of a 100% raw biogas-fueled variable compression ratio engine. Different measurements of performance, combustion, and emission parameters are used to analyze the effect of four spark locations protruded inside the clearance volume (viz. 0, 2, 5, and 10 mm). The protrusion of the spark plug by 2 mm is observed to be optimum for compression ratios 8, 9, and 10. For this optimum spark plug location, engine efficiency and fuel economy are found to be higher. Faster combustion, in this particular case, has led to early and higher peak cylinder pressure and burnt gas temperature. Lower emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide have verified the optimality of 2 mm protrusion location of the spark plug for all the compression ratios. Thus, present investigations recommend minor protrusion of the spark plug to assist the combustion process, to enhance the performance and lowering the emission of a biogas-fueled engine.
