[Stoves] Performance analysis of a top lit updraft (TLUD) gasifier stove, operated with respect to fuel characteristics of multiple types of biomass feedstock

[Paul Anderson]

Crispin,

I also could only access the abstract, and await access to the full 
article.  Always glad to see research results that involve TLUD stoves.

But from the abstract, I need a clarification:   It says:

"The results showed that the wood char (CO-45.8%, H2-23.7%, CO2-4.1%...  
" (and included CH4 and N2)   Those are all gases, and char is a solid.  
And solid char is mainly C and does not have oxygen atoms.     Please 
explain the data to me, a non-chemist.

Perhaps the full document will answer the questions.

Paul

>> Nearly 3 billion of people, across the globe are using biomass cookstove to meet their energy requirement for cooking, water heating and space heating. These cookstoves work at a low efficiency and emits harmful pollutants which affect the health of women and children. Clean combustion and high efficiency are two focus areas that need to be improved in biomass cookstoves. However, the appropriate solution for clean cooking is yet to come. A selected set of biomass fuel, such as corn cob, wood chips, coal, wood char, biomass pellets and briquettes were considered for testing the performance of the cookstove. The TLUD stove was analyzed with respect to a maximum and minimum firepower. In addition, the biomass fuels burning rate, rate of power output and efficiency were tested for comparison and evaluation of the cookstove performance and fuel suitability. Biomass characteristics are analyzed with its proximate analysis and energy content. The results showed that the wood char (CO-45.
