In this study, the processes of design
development, numerical analysis, and experimental validation aimed at enhancing
the thermal performance of domestic ovens are addressed within an integrated
framework. In the initial phase, recent scientific studies focusing on heat
transfer mechanisms, airflow characteristics, and temperature distribution
inside oven cavities were comprehensively reviewed. Based on the outcomes of
the literature review, critical design parameters directly affecting system
performance were identified, and performance-oriented design criteria were
established accordingly. In line with these criteria, multiple design
alternatives with different geometric configurations and flow structures were
developed, and the thermal behavior of each design was thoroughly evaluated
using advanced numerical analysis methods.
In the numerical investigations, temperature
distribution throughout the oven cavity, the level of thermal uniformity,
airflow structure, and overall system energy efficiency were considered as the
primary performance indicators. To validate the numerical findings, prototype
units corresponding to selected design configurations were manufactured, and
experimental tests were conducted under controlled laboratory conditions. The
temperature and performance data obtained from the experimental measurements were
compared with the numerical analysis results, and the evaluations demonstrated
a high level of agreement between the developed numerical model and the
experimental data.
As a result of the performance comparison of the
different design alternatives, the optimal design configuration was identified
in terms of heat distribution effectiveness, temperature uniformity, and energy
consumption. The findings indicate that significant improvements were achieved
in the overall thermal performance of the system. The outcomes of this study
are expected to contribute to the design, development, and performance
enhancement processes of domestic cooking appliances.
