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.
