Studies have been carried out on the evaporation of kerosene droplets at elevated temperature and pressure, existing data and information on evaporation and combustion of kerosene remain insufficient. This work presents formulation of linear regression model which represents anticipated effects of vessel pressure variations on flame temperature and height of adulterated kerosene in a pressurized cooking stove. The model validation confirmed the existence of statistical relationships between vessel pressure variations and flame temperature and height. Appling data collected from Experimental results, R2 values of 76.9 % was obtained for the model. The result showed that the variation in behavior of vessel pressure could be accounted for by the flame temperature and height. This model will further help in predicting the behavior of adulterated kerosene.</p> ER -
