[Stoves] [Gasification] combustion math question (help needed)

[cornelio torrijos]

Hi Roger,

I never imagined such an extensive reply to my question -- 216 pages of
excellent information.
I can spend days trying to digest it.
I am sure to have follow-up questions.
Many thanks.

All the best,

Cornelio.
