Discussion

Experimental analysis demonstrates optimal combustion of diaper waste in an incinerator, highlighting fuel efficiency and natural convection effects.

Using used motor oil yielded a maximum combustion temperature of 397°C, significantly outperforming used cooking oil.
The incinerator achieved 87% thermal efficiency with used motor oil, compared to only 35% with used cooking oil.
Eight air holes were found to optimize combustion performance in the study, indicating the importance of proper ventilation.
Natural convection played a critical role in the overall combustion efficiency and waste reduction during the experimental tests.

Irawan et al. (2025) studied this question.
