Abstract: This paper deals with the use of spent cooking as a fuel in kerosene stove In order to avoid the reuse of spent cooking oil for cooking which has adverse effects on the health of human being, corrective steps are needed to be taken. With an approach of alternative fuel for kerosene pressurized cooking stove, blends of kerosene and spent soya bean cooking oil of various proportions have been prepared. These samples were tested one by one in an existing kerosene pressurized cooking stove at various pressures. From the study, it has been found that at 1.5 bar pressure, efficiency of 50% proportion of spent soya bean oil with 50% proportion of kerosene is better than pure kerosene.
Keywords: kerosene stove, spent soya bean oil, magnetization, efficiency, calorific value.
