Calculate Heat of Combustion







Formula

The formula to calculate the Heat of Combustion (HC) is:

\[ HC = LHV + H_v \times \left( \frac{NH20}{NFuel} \right) \]

What is the Heat of Combustion?

The heat of combustion is defined as the total amount of energy released by a fuel during the process of combustion. This metric is crucial for understanding the energy content of different fuels and is widely used in fields such as energy production, engineering, and environmental science.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula to calculate the Heat of Combustion (HC):

\[ HC = LHV + H_v \times \left( \frac{NH20}{NFuel} \right) = 500 + 40.79 \times \left( \frac{2}{1} \right) = 500 + 81.58 = 581.58 \text{ kJ/mol} \]

The Heat of Combustion (HC) is 581.58 kJ/mol.
