Question
Calculate the CV of a fuel sample of coal 0.6 g. Water equivalent of calorimeter 2200 g. Increase in temperature = 6.52 °C Ans:GCV= 23906 cal/g
Solution
To calculate the Calorific Value (CV) of a fuel sample of coal, we need to use the formula for Gross Calorific Value (GCV):
GCV = (water equivalent of calorimeter * increase in temperature) / weight of fuel sample
Given:
- Water equivalent of calorimeter = 2200 g
- Increase in temperature = 6.52 °C
- Weight of fuel sample = 0.6 g
Substituting these values into the formula:
GCV = (2200 * 6.52) / 0.6 GCV = 23906 cal/g
So, the Gross Calorific Value of the fuel sample of coal is 23906 cal/g.
