[Stoves] Energy calcs.

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Frank

You are right about the 2676 but remember that the heat taken to evaporate water AT 0 deg is only 2501. I have questioned the difference in the past but forgot the reason. 

HHV calcs may use that number (?) but I think it is cooled to 20 not 0. You can check. 

Here is a question for you: if the local boiling point is 95 deg C, what is the local latent heat of evaporation?

Dear Crispin, 
So its 2676 (enthalpy vapor @100c) - 419 liquid at 100c = 2257.   
I get confused when there is no 'liquid' water as the H is in the wood
structure.

I realize all this in 'real world'  differs with  site specific. I will use
the 2257 value and thank you all (again) for reviewing this. Seems if I
leave it for a year I need to start over in understanding it. 

Thanks

Frank

Frank, that water vapour number must be relative to some normative
temperature. It doesn't match the usual numbers. 

It it was relative to condensed water at 100 C it would be 2257. If relative
to water at 0 C it would be 2501. 

486 g x 2257 = the latent heat of condensation which is what I would
subtract from the HHV (bomb calorimeter). 

It is not absolutely correct but that is what people have agreed to do. For
almost all biomass the deduction per dry kg will be 1.32 MJ per dry ash-free
kilogram.
