1.3 PURPOSE OR OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY
This study is to devise a means of producing an electrical stove with three apartment to address the following:
(1) The problem of sooty pare-heating as observed in vaporizing cookers.
(2) Economically, this equipment is designed for cost reduction and easy to maintain.
(2) To reduce the effect of kerosine scarcity prevailing in our present days.
(3) To meet up with inadequate availability of fire wood through deforestat6ion.
1.4 LITERATURE REVIEW
In an extremely large span of time ago, people generally roasted by
placing food substances on hot wood coal or on heated rocks, and smoking
(drying) ,of meat and fish was done by means of brick oven. This brick
oven was locally made in a dome shape having an opening through which
the firewood and other food substances were put. In use, the firewood
was burnt to a sufficient time to provide enough hot coal before the
meat or the fish already laid on a perforated sheet or wire was
regulated by either gathering the fire wood together for more heat or
withdrawing them from the oven so as to reduce the heat. This event can
be dated back at least to the third century AD
Equally too,
primitive Africans set fire on a carefully arranged fire wood and used
the fire so generated for cooking. That was when civilization was still
in the womb of time. As a result of science and technology electricity
came into during such trend that electrical element was made to
generate heat when electric current is passed through it. About 1914
electricity was adopted for cooking, and become popular in late 1920s.
along side those periods, oil exploration and its various refined
products like kerosine, gas, etc for both industrial and domestic
consumption were made possible. Hence, kerosine stores and gas cookers,
over the years, began to replace the primitive way of using firewood
for cooking and drying, particularly in most civilized regions of
Africa.
Then came a time, late part of the last century
and the new millennium, when petroleum fuel scarcity overwhelmed the
entire nation, making lives of many Nigerians difficult. Consequently,
kerosine stoves and gas cookers became n o more alternative as before.
Many Nigerians began using fire wood for cooking and drying. This
period was crucial during the PENGASAM strike, 1994. When a certain
container inside which coal is burnt to provide heat for cooking and
roasting was named
ABACHA STGOVE: In the course of the above
periods, foreign electrical stoves and ovens flooded our local market,
and their maintenance culture were by no means easy. Thus, economically
their uses were not feasible enough domestically.
Thus
threw a challenge to our local engineers to produce electrical stoves
and ovens that can stand the test of time within our locality, and to
avoid the danger of kerosine and gas explosion which have terminated a
lot of lives in our present days. Such a challenge also paved way for
the project students came up with such a dual-purpose domestic
electrical heating equipment to sufficiently address the problems being
imposed by petroleum fuel consuming stoves and ovens, incessant as
stated preciously in 1.2. above.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This project is concern about the construction of an electrical stove with three oven apartment is described in his project. It was carried out in order to solve the problem often encounter in cooking and drying and at the same time finding an alternat6ive means to replace the use of kerosine and gas for cooking and drying which are often not available due to scarcity of these products, however, the project students have employed the use of electricity which is rending available.      ...
