To find an optimal design in an oven, we must analyze and understand the process of combustion of wood; variables involved, phases, each phase processes, better combustion conditions, etc., a theme to spare studied by engineers and encompasses knowledge of different subjects: thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, chemical dynamics, mechanical properties and thermal properties of various materials etc.
When designing an effective, safe and easy to build homemade stove, we find the following dilemma:
As the efficiency of the stove grows, so the complexity of it.However we must look for a committed performance and simplicity and ease of construction that fits the overall needs in burning wood design , and our goal should be that, later to be implemented improvements (also easy to implement if possible ) that can increase performance.
