The distribution of cooking fuel used by the study participants was biomass from wood or crop residues (44.3%), LPG (42.7%), kerosene (11.2%), and biogas (1.9%).
The cabin is lit with 31 kerosene lamps.
Each contained a box of 12 kerosene heaters.
Four mixtures of kerosene vegetable cooking oil (VCO) were prepared and evaluated, as follows: 100% kerosene (100 kerosene), 90%/10% kerosene VCO (90/10 KVCO), 75%/25% kerosene VCO (75/25 KVCO), and 50%/50% kerosene VCO (50/50 KVCO).
Table 2 Households' fuel mix Fuel mix Population Wood only 32.2 Kerosene only 20.83 Electricity only 0.00 Charcoal only 17.09 LPG only 7.25 Solar only 0.00 Wood + kerosene 17.71 Wood + kerosene + charcoal 3.21 LPG + kerosene + solar 8.21 LPG + kerosene 1.04 LPG + electricity 4.27 Kerosene + electricity + wood 4.17 LPG + wood + charcoal 3.13 LPG + wood 5.21 Wood + LPG + kerosene + charcoal 10.42.
The maximum electrical efficiency of 1.03% was achieved using 50/50 KVCO, but the maximum radiant efficiency of 31.5% was obtained by using 100 kerosene.
This is shown clearly from the values of reaction constants of LGO (k 5), kerosene (k 6 and k 8) and naphtha (k 7, k 9 and k 10).

In processing heavier hydrocarbons such as military logistic fuels (JP-4, JP-5, JP-8, and JP-100), kerosene, gasoline, and diesel to produce hydrogen for fuel cell use, several issues arise.
