1. Introduction
Fossil fuels reserves are depleting at a very rapid
rate at the same time their usage is increasingly
considerably. In order to meet the impending fuel
crisis, an extensive research is being carried out in the
areas of fuel conservation and alternative fuels.
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is the most commonly
used conventional fuel for domestic application. In
urban India, the total domestic consumption of LPG is
very high. It is a known fact that LPG usage is
important part of our life as 90% urban population uses Figure 1 Mixing of LPG and Air
LPG for cooking. With some changes in the existing
