| 總結: | Current attention to improved cook stoves (ICS) focuses on the “triple benefits” they
provide, in improved health and time savings for households, in preservation of forests
and associated ecosystem services, and in reducing emissions that contribute to global
climate change. Despite the claimed economic benefits of such technologies, however,
progress in achieving large-scale adoption and use has been remarkably slow. This paper
shows a simulation analysis to evaluate the claim that households will always reap
positive and large benefits from the use of such technologies. Our analysis allows for
better understanding of the variability and benefits of ICS use in developing countries.
This paper is an attempt to address such a need and endeavors to improve on the
technological development of cook stoves. In our experimental program comparing the
performance of a household traditional cook stove in Bangladesh with an improved cook
stove, showed that the thermal efficiency is almost doubled which has been evaluated
in this paper. The effect of moisture content of biomass fuel on the performance of both
type-cooking stoves was also included in the evaluation. |
