Transient analysis of conventional mud chullah

Abstract A simple transient analysis of the conventional mud chullah of single pot seat has been presented. The effects of various parameters, namely pressure and non-pressure pot, use of insulation in walls and basement of the chullah, heat capacity of pot-water, burning rate of wood, and heat losses from the combustion gas, have been incorporated in the analysis. Keeping in view the outcomes of this analysis, some interesting recommendations have been made to make the mud chullah more efficient.
