Question

. Calculate HCV and LCV of a fuel, whose composition by mass is as follows;

Carbon – 90%, Hydrogen – 90%, Sulphur – 90% and reminder being Ash

Answer 1

HCV (higher calorific value) and LCV (lower calorific value) are two measurements of heat liberated from the combustion of a unit mass of fuel. Also, HCV is also known as the gross calorific value while LCV is known as the net calorific value.
