L.P.G is the most convenient and clean fuel for domestic use and is very popular in these days. The LPG stove industry is about 36 years old and is mainly concentrated in the small-scale sector. LPG is an exceptional energy source due to its origin, relative advantages and applications. No wonder LPG is known as The Ideal Fuel for Modern Living. With global availability, environmental benefits, its natural by-product origin, transportation flexibility and diverse application, LPG plays a pivotal role in the transition towards a more secure, sustainable and competitive energy model. Considering the limited fossil fuel resources, energy conservation, environmental issues, increase in the demand on LPG in near future, it is a necessary to explore the ways to further improve the thermal efficiency and the emission characteristics of the existing LPG cooking stoves. In the present work, various works dealt with research in increasing thermal efficiency of stoves using different fuels, and different burners are studied. Various parameters affecting thermal efficiency of a burner are determined.
