Özet

The current study is designed to investigate the effect of five different burner head geometries of gas stoves. The amounts of heat required for boiling 380 grams of water in a pot for a stove for these several burner heads are measured. The flow rates are set to be 3 L/min and 6 L/min for experimental tests. These experimental results show that the burner head with three lateral sets of holes and two circular sets of holes at the top gives the minimum heating time when burning natural gas alone. Once the hydrogen-natural gas mixture is used, the burner head with one lateral and three top circular sets of holes shows the best performance among others regarding heating time. The effect of the flow rate increase is also investigated. Once the flow rate doubles, the burner head with three lateral sets of holes offers the best performance. Based on the findings of the experiments, it can be said that burner heads with lateral sets of holes operate better than other geometries. When natural gas is utilized as fuel, it is observed that the burner head with three lateral sets of holes and two circular sets of holes at the top provided a 12% reduction in heating time compared to the conventional burner head. For the natural gas and hydrogen blends, the conventional burner head achieves the best in terms of heating time.
