The energy crisis has been a hot topic of discussion for a long time, but little has ever come out of it. The increasing shortage of natural resources and growing global warming has made it imperative for each individual to think about conservation of energy. One sector which has huge amounts of wasted energy and many possible applications of reusing this energy is commercial kitchens. The air temperature in these kitchens can reach upto 50 o C and the immense thermal energy in this air is just wasted! This project aims to successfully develop the analysis of a heat exchanger based chimney system that can be employed in commercial kitchens to utilize this wasted heat and use it to prepare hot water that can be stored for future use.
