[Stoves] Gel Fuel Emissions

[IPC]

Dear Crispin

I thought I had the data here, but it turns out they are at the University,
so I will dig them out tomorrow and let you have them.  

However, have mulled over the correlation reported last week, it occured to
me that it should only hold provided you have a reasonably pure
diffusion-type flame.  If you start doing other things (like top-lit
down-draft) you will lose the correlation.  I think this is fairly important
- one mustn't get too carried away by the fact that there is a correlation
under some conditions.

Best regards

Dear Prof Lloyd

If you were to calculate the CO and particulate emissions for ethanol gel
fuel + stove combinations that you tested in the middle of 2007, what would
the numbers be if they were expressed in mg/MJ (net)?

I am beginning to like this approach even for small stoves.  It is a measure
of the combustor.

The thermal efficiency - a measure of the stove structure's ability to give
heat to the pot - can be separated from the combustor.

Thanks
