Wood Stoves: Warm Homes & Cheap Heating

As the winter months creep in, so does the cold and dampness. You cringe at the thought of your home heating bill rising as you pull out your collection of warm sweaters and socks. So how can you escape this reoccurring drain on your pocketbook?

If you have the luxury of owning a home, and have the ability, and room, to renovate by adding a wood stove, you may soon be laughing when the mailman arrives with your monthly recap from the electric company (or oil giant).

Wood stoves have come a long way in the last few decades, particularly since 1990, when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) required stove manufacturers to adhere to strict particle emissions standards. Now, all wood stoves must be EPA-certified, which means they are environmentally friendly, as well as being stylish and practical. The EPA-approved stove is so efficient that is uses approximately 65 percent less wood than a non-EPA model the same size, yet still produces the same amount of heat.

There are several styles of wood stoves on the market. Consumers can choose from natural cast iron or plate steel, or they can have painted or enamel-coated finishes that match the home's decor.

Good placement equals great flow:

Sizes and capacity vary, but some wood stoves can generate enough heat to warm approximately 2,200 square feet of living space. While houses with an open concept design are easier to heat with one wood stove, multiple rooms can also be warmed by this age-old source. The secret is good placement of the stove. Not only should the wood stove be installed in a room where the family spends most of their time, there should also be paths, or openings for the heat to flow to other parts of the house. Warm air can also be circulated by means of ceiling fans.

Choose from cats or non-cats:

There are two types of wood stoves – a cat and a non-cat, both referring to the use (or not) of a catalytic combustor. The technicalities of these two products can be explained fully by your local wood stove retailer, but in short, both help your stove burn clean and efficiently.

Safety with wood stoves:

From the moment you bring your wood stove into your home, safety should always be a key consideration. Here are a few tips:

1. Have a professional install the unit

2. Do not install the stove in a confined space.

3. Ensure proper clearance from any combustible materials, including magazines and newspapers, drapes, furniture and wood flooring.

4. Inspect your stove, or have a professional do it, twice a year. Look for signs of creosote or warping of the unit.

5. Only burn fuel that was designed for your stove. Burning trash in your wood stove has the potential to start a chimney fire.

6. If you have a catalytic combustor model, burning driftwood, artificial logs or anything containing plastic will damage the unit.

7. For any questions about the safety of your wood stove, contact the retailer, a chimney sweep company or your local fire department.

Combustor Aerodynamics Study $111.53 This book presents numerical and experimental study of physical insight of the main vortex, responsible for the efficient mixing of fuel and air in a micro gas turbine combustor. Experimental measurements performed on a laboratory model using Particle Image Velocimetry deliver details of flow structure, important for optimization of combustor geometry and verification of numerical models. Threedimensional, viscous, turbulent, isothermal flow characteristics of this combustor model were simulated via ReynoldsAveraged NavierStokes (RANS) code. The effects of swirlers and mass flow rate were examined. Details of the complex flow structure such as vortices and recirculation zones were obtained by the simulation model. The computational model predicts a major recirculation zone in the central region immediately downstream of the fuel nozzle and a second recirculation zone in the upstream corner of the combustion chamber which is consistent with the experimental results.

Combustion Instability Mechanisms in a Lean Premixed Gas Turbine Combustor. $84.05 An experimental study was conducted to identify the combustion instability mechanisms of flame-vortex interactions and equivalence ratio fluctuations and to characterize the combined effects of the two mechanisms on self-excited unstable combustion in a swirl-stabilized lean-premixed gas turbine combustor. The combustor was designed so that the fuel injector location and the combustion chamber length could be independently varied. In addition, the fuel and air could be mixed upstream of the choked inlet to the combustor, thereby eliminating the possibility of equivalence ratio fluctuations. Experiments were performed over a broad range of operating conditions and at each condition both the combustor length and the fuel injection location were varied. Dynamic pressure in the combustor, acoustic pressure and velocity in the mixing section, and the overall rate of heat release were simultaneously measured at all operating conditions, and two-dimensional flame images were taken to visualize stable and unstable flame structures. Two distinct instability regimes were observed, one near 220 Hz and the other near 340 Hz. It was found that the lower frequency regime is closely related to the maximum gain frequency of the flame at forced response measurements, while the high frequency regime is related to the quarter-wave frequency of the mixing section. It was also found that the strength of the instability changed significantly as the fuel injection location was varied, while the phase of the acoustic pressure and velocity fluctuations in the mixing section did not change. A time series of pressure and CH* chemiluminescence signals suggested the constructive and/or destructive coupling of the two mechanisms. Experimental data on the premixed cases were analyzed to identify the combustion instability mechanism due to flame-vortex interactions, and the time lag and the characteristic frequency analyses were found to be useful. Based on the fact that the time lag only describes the phase relationship between parameters, the characteristic frequency analysis was introduced to account for the system gain as the other factor for the instability. The maximum gain frequency in the forced flame response measurement (fmax.gain ≈ 220 Hz) and the quarter-wave frequency of the mixing section (fmix ≈ 340 Hz) were found to be characteristic frequencies for the combustor configuration. As a result, two conditions were identified as the requirements for the observed instability due to the flame-vortex interactions: (i) the time lag should be satisfied: Rayleigh's criterion and Ctn ≈ 1, and (ii) the acoustic frequency of the combustor, facs, should be close to either fmax.gain or fmix. Spectrograms drawn from the measured combustor pressure signals for varying combustor length have confirmed that the proposed instability mechanism of the flame-vortex interaction is valid. In the analysis of the combustion instability mechanism of equivalence ratio fluctuations, a
