This research, concerns the design and construction of a charcoal baking oven using locally available materials. The baking oven in this work has a rectangular box like shape with a total baking area of 315000mm2. The oven is used for baking, drying and warming of food e.g cakes, bread, fish, meat etc. It is constructed with mild steel and angle bars. It comprises baking tray, housing frame, charcoal heating tray and baking chamber doo […]
This project is designed to make the students utilize as many theoretical and practical concept as have been instructed in Alston to mechanical engineering workshop technology. Students are expected to learn and apply concepts, principles about energy specially the conversions of electrical energy to thermal energy, conduction and conventional heat transfer etc. This paper is on construction of a baking oven. A critical analysis of th […]
ABSTRACT This paper presents the design, construction and testing of an electric oven. A critical analysis of the design was also carried out. The oven consisted of the oven chamber, racks, a heating element, a variable thermostat and a suitable lagging material. The oven was constructed using locally available materials and technology. It was then assembled and tested. Tests results showed that on the average, it took 22.9 minutes an […]

ABSTRACT Due to irregular power supply common in developing countries, as well as growing high cost of hydrocarbon, the need arises for the development of a triple energy source that uses electricity, gas and charcoal for heating oven chambers. The triplex-powered oven is a combination of components that make possible the use of alternative heat sources. The upper chamber is powered by electricity, the middle chamber is powered gas wh […]
ABSTRACT This project entails the design and construction of electric cooker with oven. The cooker is powered by electricity. The energy conservation in this electric cooker with oven involves the conversion of electrical energy to heat energy in the system. Materials used for the construction were selected based on their reliability availability, maintainability and durability. The device was tested and found to be working properly. […]
ABSTRACT This work is on an electric gas cooker with temperature control oven. An electric gas cooker is an electric and gas powered cooker for heating and cooking of food. An electric gas cooker has two different heating place, one for electric powering and the other for gas. An electric cooker is powered by electricity, while gas cooker is powered by gas. A gas cooker uses natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas or ot […]
