Most of the heat from a fire in a room is released into the surrounding air through convection, raising the room's temperature. Some heat is also emitted as radiant energy, which warms objects and surfaces in the room. Heat loss can occur through conduction, air circulation, and any opening that allows the heat to escape.
An electric fire heats up a room by converting the electric energy into heat energy. The electric current flows through a heating element, usually made of metal coils, which then radiate heat into the room. Some electric fires also use a fan to distribute the heat more effectively.
A 2kW electric fire can typically heat a room of around 20-25 square meters effectively. However, factors like insulation, room layout, and ceiling height can all impact the actual heating coverage. It's best to refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific model you have.
The shiny metal on the back of an electric bar fire helps to reflect heat forwards into the room, increasing the efficiency of the heater. It serves as a heat reflector, directing heat output towards the front of the unit and improving its heating capacity.
The molar specific heat of most metals near room temperature is approximately 25 J/molK.
Heat rises in a room.
Contained, or wild fire there is going to be a lot of heat .
A fan.
Some of the heat from the fire goes up the flue as hot air. This creates a draught, pulling fresh air into the room.
Heat will be distrubuted evenly throughout the room. The fire is maximum distance from an exterior wall, and will loose less heat through the wall to the outside.
by radiating the heat from the fire inside to the room where it's located.

fire needs 3 things: fuel, oxygen, heat/ignition remove one of the three and you stop the fire
A fireplace heats a room by conduction as the heat from the fire warms the surrounding air and nearby objects. These objects then transfer the heat to other objects through direct contact, gradually warming up the entire room.
No. The only difference is that in a wood stove, you trap most of the heat given off by the fire and put it to use either heating a house or room. in a "regular" open air fire, you aren't trapping the heat given off, and the heat dissipates into the air, essentially heating the outside air by an infinitesimally small amount.
By convection (air warmed by the fire circulates through the room) and radiation (infrared energy given off by the fire is transmitted directly, warming objects in line-of-sight of the fire).
No. In fact, don't heat it because since it's in a metal can it will light on fire. Just keep it at room temp!
When you open a door to a heated room (no fire), the heat should flow into the unheated room in an attempt to reach equilibrium. If there's fire in the closed room, the flames will grow when you open the door because there's more oxygen in the room you're in (and by the way, that's something you should never do in a fire... when your house is on fire, always check the door to see if it's warm before you open it).
