style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>I am learning to use the new WBT
4.2.2 thanks to Jim and Crispin.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN

style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>I see an issue with the WBT 4.2.2
that may only apply to my stove.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>That is <B
style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">how to calculate the energy value of wood
left over in a batch after a boiling test.</B><o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>There is a cell in the spreadsheet
for the left over char but not for the left over
wood.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>The reason for calculating the left
over wood from the batch is it will have a different moisture
content.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>I have been doing <SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>boiling test without simmering because
my prototype does not have the “retained heat” capabilities the next prototype
will have retained heat capabilities so I am only doing water boiling test
with the first prototype.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>My “no<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>grate” stove does not have a bottom so
as soon as the water boils I lift up the stove and cap the remaining fuel. The
remaining wood and char is extinguished in 15 min. Then I weigh what is
left.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>From my last test I had 116 gr of
char and 152 gr of partially charred wood. Most of the wood still looks like
wood and it is not torrified but I am sure it has a different moisture
content.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>So how does one calculate the
remaining <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>wood with different
moisture content.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>My stove may be the only one that
will “save wood” so it may not be practical to change the WBT 4.2.2 just for
me so I could do a calculation and add it to the (equivalent dry wood
consumed) cell on the spreadsheet.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNoSpacing><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt"><FONT face=Calibri>I did not think to dry the
remaining wood to get the moisture content but I will next
test.<o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P></DIV>
