The Wood Fuel Calculator is a tool that can be used to preliminary calculation of different typical units (bulk, mass energy). For this calculation different factors are used. It is not necessary that this calculation always represent real situation, but still gives us orientation in converting and comparison between different units of fuel-wood. The Calculator …
