it depends on the fire place. traditional fireplaces loose most of their heat via the chimney. ventless fireplaces loose 99.9 percent of their heat out of the front of the fireplace and into the home
The heat energy you feel from a fireplace is primarily radiant heat. This heat is given off by the fire and warms objects and people in close proximity. The amount of heat felt will depend on the distance from the fireplace and the size of the fire.
The chair gets warm from the radiant heat produced by the fireplace. The glass screen on the fireplace reflects and magnifies the heat, causing the side of the chair facing the fireplace to warm up.
Conduction is the primary form of heat transfer when you warm your hands by a fireplace. The heat from the fire is conducted through the solid material of the fireplace and then through your hands as you come into contact with the warm surface.
A fireplace primarily generates heat energy through the combustion of wood or other fuel. This heat energy provides warmth to the surrounding area.
The heat transfer by the fireplace warming your hands is primarily through radiation. The fireplace emits infrared radiation that is absorbed by your hands, causing them to warm up. Additionally, convection and conduction play a role as well, as the heated air around the fireplace rises and circulates, transferring heat to your hands by convection and through direct contact with the warm surface by conduction.
Better, in a heat efficient way, because there is no loss of heat, with a real one,you need to vent exhaust fumes and at the same time you lose heat. A real fireplace looks better but is less efficient.
The fireplace's heat is an example of radiation.
A fireplace fan blower helps to distribute heat more evenly throughout the room by pushing warm air away from the fireplace and into the surrounding space. This helps to increase the overall efficiency of the fireplace by maximizing the heat output and reducing heat loss.
The heat energy you feel from a fireplace is primarily radiant heat. This heat is given off by the fire and warms objects and people in close proximity. The amount of heat felt will depend on the distance from the fireplace and the size of the fire.
A gas fireplace blower enhances efficiency and heat distribution by circulating the warm air produced by the fireplace throughout the room. This helps to evenly distribute heat and prevent hot spots, making the fireplace more effective in heating the space.
Fireplace
The chair gets warm from the radiant heat produced by the fireplace. The glass screen on the fireplace reflects and magnifies the heat, causing the side of the chair facing the fireplace to warm up.
Heat cast forward out of a firepalce is called radiant heat and it the only usable heat that a fireplace can create The wasted heat that a fireplace creates is called combusion heat that rises up the chimney.
A fireplace heats a room by radiating heat in all directions. People directly in front of the fireplace feel the warmth more because they are closer to the source of heat and receive more radiant heat energy. The further away you are from the fireplace, the more the heat dissipates and the less warmth you feel.
Check and see if your fireplace has heat vents on the sides or above the firebox, and that they are open.
Conduction is the primary form of heat transfer when you warm your hands by a fireplace. The heat from the fire is conducted through the solid material of the fireplace and then through your hands as you come into contact with the warm surface.
You ARE going to lose heat up the chimney. Couple of things you can do to keep SOME of it in the room. Got a set of doors for the fireplace? They need to be open while burning, but can be closed as fire goes out, keep from sucking warm air out of the room. There are heat exchangers that are metal tubes with a fan. Tubes heated by the fire, fan pushes air thru the tubes, out into the room. The "Heatilator" style fireplaces have a heat exchanger built in to the fireplace. The heat exchangers are not cheap, and are still not as efficient as a wood stove.
