Significance of the Study

To discover an eco-friendly material alternative for fuel sources

To recycle waste products

To reduce the usage of fuel sources

Null Hypothesis

The different kinds of organic waste according to origin doesn't affect the heat energy exerted

Methodology

All materials were gathered

2)A match was used to light up the wood charcoal

3) The pan with 50ml of water was put on the grill rack on the waste




4) The thermometer was used to measure the temperature that was recorded

5.) Steps 2 to 4 are repeated for the experimental groups

Presentation of Data

The results were shocking because the controlled group was the least efficient and the peanut shells were the best on generating heat

Analysis of Data

We could identify that there is a comparison between the controlled group and experimental groups. Therefore, different organic wastes may decrease/increase the temperature. This is because: peanuts contain oil called ARACHIS HYPOGEA, oil found in the meat of the peanut that's flammable

Eggshells have many but tiny spores that can suck air and also oxygen, an element needed for fire

Dry leaves have a part called a stoma which has an opening for gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide

Charcoal contains oxygen inside it and when heated, its absorption increases to 100x

Conclusion

Based on the experiments and research we gathered, we can say that the Null Hypothesis is rejected since you can see a difference between the groups

Recommendations

More Trials

More Experimental Groups
