Calculation method
Calculation method
Full planned batch count by stove
Ceil(required water/planned full-batch size), using whole-mL integer arithmetic.
Modeled fuel grams by stove
Full batch count×batch mL×measured trial fuel/total trial water.
Modeled boil minutes by stove
Full batch count×batch mL×measured trial boil minutes/total trial water.
Lowest modeled fuel stove(s)
Compare modeled fuel totals; retain ties.
Shortest modeled boil-time stove(s)
Compare modeled boil-time totals; retain ties.
Symbols and units
- a
- Measured stove rows: ID, planned full-batch mL, total trial water mL, total trial fuel g, total trial boil minutes
- b
- Required heated-water volume (mL)
Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.
Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- A supplied boil-test extrapolation using full batches, including a possibly unnecessary final partial-volume batch as full. Conditions, fuel chemistry, ventilation and safe stove use are not inferred; this is not an equipment recommendation.
