This paper evaluated the performance of a locally fabricated sawdust fired oven for drying process. The principles of energy conservation and heat recovery were applied in analyzing the data obtained from the pilot Oven. Results obtained revealed that the maximum oven temperature in the drying chamber was 130 0 C after 105 minutes of the heating process. Furthermore, the maximum energy gained and efficiency computed were 3.78kW and 56.65% respectively. Thus, using the sawdust fired Oven for domestic drying purpose will reduce dependence on fossil fuel; therefore, minimizing the effect of global warming and climate change. The used of the sawdust oven can serve as an alternative device for burning sawdust for drying purpose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
