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

[Frank Shields]

Dear Crispin, 

and if Riaz (hi Riaz) is unwilling to do that what then? 

If someone purchases the study and posts it in this group are they going to get a knock on their door a couple days later?

I have spent 40$ on many reports that have been a complete waste of money and being at such an early stage of  the work thats needed this I am sure will be the same. One question I think you can answer is: ‘fuel characteristics’ what does that mean? Is it the difference between oak chips and corn cobs? OR between high carbon density (Carbon / cu-cm) and low carbon density biomass etc. etc…..

Both would make for a good study with leading to many future studies down the road. With all the millions being spent comparing the pm2.5 produced between a  ‘3-stone fire to the microwave oven’ I would think this could be made free to the public it being so important in getting the real needed research moving. A lot more research and science is in the future. All stove labs should be very busy this year - should be. 

 Finally a real study leading to a real solution - thanks 

Frank
