Wood Combustion Heat

Overview

Engineering reference data for Wood Combustion Heat in combustion engineering.

Key Formulas

Heat Release

$Q = \dot{m} \cdot HV$

Fuel energy release rate.

Air-Fuel Ratio

$AF = \frac{m_{air}}{m_{fuel}}$

Mass of air per mass of fuel.

Excess Air

$EA = \frac{O_2}{21 - O_2} \times 100\%$

From flue gas oxygen measurement.
