Abstract

Cooktop burners are widely used all over the world. According to the Canadian Government statistics, households were responsible for almost half of greenhouse gas emission in 2004. Overall emissions related to households’ increase 13% from about 285900 kilotonnes in 1990 to 321700 kilotonnes in 2004 and most of them are came from household cooktop burners. Improving burner’s thermal efficiency will directly save energy consumption and indirectly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Gas burner efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions depend on heat transfer from the premixed flame to the impinging surface, which is a complicated issue depending on several engineering variables. For a better understanding of the cooktop design factors affecting the thermal performance and associated gaseous emissions, experimental investigations on multi-slot impinging premixed flame jet systems were carried out to evaluate the magnitude of the individual and interaction effects of each of these variables.
