Pulse-combustion furnaces can be cost-effective in very cold climates or homes with high heating requirements as they allow the maximum amount of heat to be extracted from the burning fuel. Consider a 95%-efficient pulse-combustion natural- gas furnace that is used to heat a house. Using the HHV value of carbon intensity, calculate the carbon emissions per unit of heat delivered to the house in gC/MJ. Show calculations and the source of any additional number used.
