For how much duration should a cookstove (coal based) be measured for
emissions so that it is representative of an Indian cooking cycle? 

What is the time taken for an Indian cooking cycle?

 

Some mention about Indian cooking cycle in literature are as follows

1.	Venkatraman et al., 2010 - "Laboratory tests of cookstoves bear some
similarity to those for other consumer devices, such as automobiles, which
are not operated at constant load all the time, unlike many industrial
devices. It is thus necessary to employ a standard use cycle for every test
so that comparisons can be made in a repeatable manner even if the standard
cooking (or driving) cycle is not completely representative of use in all
situations.Development of one or more “Indian Cooking Cycles” is being
considered as part of the National Cookstove Initiative"

Although I couldn't come across any such Indian cooking cycle protocol which
mentions the approximate duration representative of Indian cooking cycle.

 

2) Arora et al., 2014 in their study assess cookstove performance in terms
of energy and emissions based on ‘Indian cooking cycles. The results measure
the variations in cookstove performance using CCT protocol, owing to the
difference in cooking cycles existing in two different regions of northern
India i.e. Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Uttarakhand (UK).

Based on their study they approximate 60-70 min for cooking, which includes
rice, pulses and roti.

3) Lombardi et al 2017 review most of the exising testing protocols and
point out that 45-60 min is usually the duration of phase during the water
boiling test measurements.
