Though this is a crude representation, it represents a basis for further study.

Project Plan
Work Breakdown Structure
Future Plans Detailed heat transfer analysis of proposed heat harvesting system to determine appropriate heat sink and conduction rod sizing. Calculate all percentage heat losses within the stove system to better optimize future designs. Analyzing the need for a change in combustion chamber geometry. Test existing RIT stove to compare empirical data with theoretical models and determine overall efficiency of the system.
