Gas Cookers

Overview

Engineering reference data for Gas Cookers in combustion engineering.

Key Formulas

Heat Release

$Q = \dot{m} \cdot HV$

Fuel energy release rate.

Air-Fuel Ratio

$AF = \frac{m_{air}}{m_{fuel}}$

Mass of air per mass of fuel.

Excess Air

$EA = \frac{O_2}{21 - O_2} \times 100\%$

From flue gas oxygen measurement.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$Q$	Heat release rate	W
$\dot{m}$	Mass flow rate	kg/s
$HV$	Heating value	J/kg
$AF$	Air-fuel ratio	—

Notes

• The oven settings provided are approximate, as individual cookers may vary.
• Gas oven regulators are not absolutely accurate; the actual temperature will probably not match the gas mark exactly.
