The gross calorific value (GCV), also known as the higher heating value (HHV) of coal is the amount of heat emitted upon complete combustion of coal. The GCV of coal is used to estimate various technoeconomic parameters such as boiler efficiency, combustion values, and production costs. This study seeks to examine the methods that …
Increasing ash resulted in a lower coal organic content (lower carbon percentage) which reduces the heating value, and growing the moisture content weakens the coal structure and decreases the GCV of samples (negative correlations) (Golshani et al., 2013, Nguyen et al., 2021).

The higher heating value (also known gross calorific value or gross energy) of a fuel is defined as the amount of heat released by a specified quantity (initially at 25°C) once it is combusted and the products have returned to a temperature of 25°C, which takes into account the latent heat of vaporization of water in the combustion products.

The heating values in units of MJ/kg, are converted from the heating values in units of Btu/lb. [5] For solid fuels, the heating values in units of Btu/lb are converted from the heating ...
Because approximately 3,412 Btu/hr equals 1 kW, we can easily determine the thermodynamic efficiency of a power plant by dividing 3,412 by the heat rate. For example, a coal power plant with a ...
The stored energy potential within coal is described as the "calorific value," "heating value," or "heat content." It's measured in British thermal units (Btu) or megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg). A Btu is the amount of heat that will warm approximately 0.12 U.S. gallons—a pound of water—by 1 degree Fahrenheit at sea level.
The calorific value (CV) is the energy content of fuel per unit mass or volume. The heat liberated by the complete combustion of a unit quantity of fuel at a standard state is known as its calorific value [75].Higher or lower calorific values are defined based on water existing liquid or vapour phase, respectively, in the combustion products.
The bomb calorimeter measures the heating value of a coal on a gross (GCV) or higher heating value (HHV) because it condenses the water from the moisture in the coal and the moisture formed from ...
2.2.3.5 Heating value. Heating value of coal can be determined with the use of an adiabatic bomb calorimeter (ASTM D2015) and is expressed in KJ/Kg. This determines the fuel energy available for steam production and represents the quantity of fuel which must be handled, pulverized and fired.
2 emissions: The carbon content of coal per unit heating value of contributes to CO 2 emissions. Additional contributors to CO 2 emissions per unit power output are moisture and ash content in the coal, which both negatively impact plant efficiency. 2. Plant Nitric Oxides (NOx) emissions: NOx emissions are impacted by a coal's nitrogen and
The lower heating value (LHV), also known as the net calorific value (NCV), is defined as the amount of heat released by fully combusting a specified quantity less the heat of vaporization of the water in the combustion product. ... H.J.F. Stroud(General Rapporteur), in Oils and Gases from Coal, 1980. 2.1 Low Heating Value Fuel Gas. This is ...
The higher heating value (also known as gross calorific value or gross energy) of a fuel is defined as the amount of heat released by a specified quantity (initially at 25°C) once it …
Correlation of coal tar heating values was hampered by the lack of heating value data. The choice of which model to use becomes more important for biomass fuels as well as for more unique fuel types like propellants and explosives, municipal solid waste, etc. The best model forms for each fuel type are suggested based on several statistical ...
The ASTM coal rank classification is based on a number of parameters obtained by various prescribed tests, which include calorific or heating value, volatile matter, moisture, ash, and fixed carbon (Figure 4.10). Calorific or heating value of coal is defined as heat energy released as it undergoes complete combustion with oxygen.
The given values are for fuels with the given density. The variation in quality may give heating values within a range 5 -10% higher and lower than the given value. Also the …

The calculated and experimental heating values (dry ash free basis) strongly depend on the ash content of the coal. The difference in the binding energy of the elements in coals having varying degrees of coalification and petrographic composition plays a relatively weak role.
The thermal properties of coal are important in determining the applicability of coal to a variety of conversion processes. Calorimeters used for the determination of the calorific value of coal can be classified into three general types: (1) calorimeters using solid oxidizing agents in either open or closed systems; (2) calorimeters using gaseous …
