Abstract:
The continuous increases in global oil prices, forest depletion, and mounting electricity bills have induced a growing interest in the use of accessible alternative energy for cooking in recent years. This has sparked interest in the development of the Ethanol Fuel Gel as a replacement for fossil and wood fuels for cooking. A fuel gel composed of ethanol, neem oil, ethyl hydroxyl-ethyl cellulose, sodium chloride, and water were formulated by a standard method with selected preliminary analysis that declared the nature of its pH, viscosity, turbidity, ignition temperature, and calorific value. The fuel gel practically exhibits a decreased evaporation rate of the active ethanol by slow, even, and consistent burning. The FT-IR, the combustion performance, flame stability and linear mathematical models of the fuel gel were established through an improvised open dimension aluminum appliance. Conclusively, chemically modified ethanol fuel stands to be one of the most cost-effective and safe fuel alternatives for domestic usage.
