Kenya Stove Renovation EDSGN 100 Section 001 Submitted by team 1: Chris Gosdin, Marcus Gergar, Jeff Cully, Tom Stewart Submitted to funding agencies for Kenya Projects www.masticasphaltcouncil.co.uk www.iupui.edu
Abstract • Current Kenyan stoves create harmful emissions, which is leading to death by smoke inhalation. Therefore we created a stove that is a revision of the original Kenyan Jiko that will now consist of an aluminum coating shell, a 1:1 ratio of clay to non-clay, and will run on biomass fuel, wood, or charcoal. By making these specific changes, we will decrease emissions, fuel used, and cooking time.

Final design • Stove Type: Jiko • Coating: Aluminum • Clay and Metal Ratio: 1:1 Clay to Non-clay • Fuel: Biomass, Wood, Charcoal
Engineering Analysis • Working Mechanism • Place fuel on in upper chamber • Light the fuel • Combustion occurs • Air will flow through bottom where there is a slit and door • Fuel burns • Heats food in pot on top of Jiko • Ashes fall through holes in clay to bottom • Recover waste http://alaninkenya.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/jiko_na_githeri.jpg
Engineering Analysis • Cost Analysis • Cheap long lasting aluminum coating – aluminum is recyclable and also is durable. • 1:1 ratio of clay to non-clay – this is the most durable form of clay and it can with withstand the most heat. • Biomass Fuel – get a lot for a low cost because of its high energy generation, it is also a prevalent resource • Wood Fuel – very prevalent resource therefore cheap • Charcoal – where biomass and wood are scarce, charcoal is the cheapest substitute • Business – current builders of Jiko can still produce without going through a vigorous learning process • The cost will be between 4 and 5 dollars
Summary and Conclusions • Redesigned Jiko • Social • Little change • Environmental • The fuel used will decrease emissions • Recycled materials • Economic • Within price range • Sustains and provides new employment • Changes • Aluminum coating will reduce rust • Biomass, Wood, Charcoal • 1:1 ratio of clay to non-clay
