This paper presents characteristics of convective heat transfer along a hole of a porous radiant burner for cooking system in domestic market. The cooking burner has a ceramic nozzle plate for flame and the nozzle is cover with a glass plate. There is a concentric gap between the cover plate and the burner and it is called convection hole for its effective role for enhanced convection from the burner to cooking bowl. Practically, numerical approach is adopted for understanding the thermal energy distribution around the burner system. Due to the convection hole, the heat transfer from the burner flame to cooking container is more vital compare with the previous model with out the spatial gap. Also the effectiveness concerned with the hole is validated by a comprehensive parallel experiment. Finally, the present results supply engineering data for improvement of this home appliance product.
