E N D
Analytical Validation of Commercial Wood-Burning Stove Performance By Troy Nietschmann and David Garrett OBJECTIVES: 1.Determine outside Temperature conditions that this 29.3 kWatt wood-burning stove would maintain an inside equilibrium temperature of 70oF for two unique 2000 sq. foot homes. 2. Determine whether this claim is reasonable.
