ABSTRACT
This report basically discuss about the research done and investigations of the
propose topic, which is to design an efficient domestic gas oven. The objective of this
project is to design an efficient domestic gas oven through heat transfer analysis in order
to reduce consumer’s burden because the price of energy increases every day. The design
will be focus on performing heat transfer analysis of heat insulation materials. The main
objectives of this research are to design an efficient domestic gas oven through heat
transfer analysis and design the domestic gas oven using most suitable heat insulation
material with most appropriate thickness.
The challenging part of this project is to find the best design of an efficient gas
oven by theoretically or by using computer simulation. The scope of work for this project
includes the simulation using CATIA software to design the domestic gas oven. ANSYS
software will be used to investigate heat transfer on the domestic gas oven. In order to
execute this project, research had been done through several methods such as studied on
previous gas oven development and discuss with FYP supervisor on weekly basis.
Approach several lecturers regarding the project by ask about suitable material to be use
in domestic gas oven.
Throughout the project, activities will start from problem identification until
completion of designing an efficient domestic gas oven. Once the heat transfer analysis of
the domestic gas oven is successfully performed, the domestic gas oven will be design
using most suitable insulation material. In the end of the semester, project works and
result will be presented during seminar and oral presentation.
