    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    *crickets chirping* Nothing else uh? no suggestions? trial and error it is then.

    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    Yes. The exhaust turns on right away when the stove turns on. Then after the ceramic element is up to temp the second blower fan kicks on and hot air is blown into the room. Where I want to put the piping doe not interfer with operation of the stove.

    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    Here is a picture. I am not wrapping the copper around the exhaust pipe. I am simply placing it into an "oven" the triangular portion to the right is the burn chamber and the area sloping down to the back (top triangle) is the pellet holding chamber. that empty space inbetween is where i want to...

    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    This is a pellet stove, not a wood stove. there is an exhaust fan that pulls out the exhaust. there is no butterfly flu to change the temp. it simply burns and heats a ceramic coated tgemp sensor and when t hits a certain tgemp the blower fan comes on and blows heat. when the termastat reaches...

    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    Are there any formulas that i might be able to use to even getg in the ball park?

    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    Would i be better off trying to get the pipe oin the fire chamber itself as opposed to trying to get the transfer of energy from above the chamber?

    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    The pipe is going to be coiled up (probably like a snake but flat) into a space of about 18x3x12inches. Flow rate is determined by the thermal efficiency of the particular room (have not don't those calcs just yet...but from everything i have read its approx 10 to 15gpm. Inlet is going to be...

    From Physics to Psychology: My Unconventional Journey Through College

    [Q.TE="RaulTheUCSCSlug, post: 5074292, member: 547628"]Welcome aboard, what an interesting transition, from physics to philo, well atleast you have a thing for majors starting with "p" am I right?! *rimshot :woot: :cry: On a somewhat more serious note, welcome to the forums! Feel free to ask...

    Thermodynamics heating water from a copper tube

    Ok, first off I need to explain my project first. I have a wood pellet stove that I want to use to heat hot water for a radiant heating system. I will have to do a custom job because nobody makes a kit for my particular stove. My question is howong of a colper tube is needed to heat the well...

    From Physics to Psychology: My Unconventional Journey Through College

    Hi everyone! I joined the forum to try and find answers to some questions. I won't bore you with them at the moment...ill start a new thread. Long time phyics buff. Hell even started my undergrad as a physics major, in the hopes of going on into asrophysics. My path in college had other ideas...
