Condensed water
The following observations were taken during a test to determine the calorific value of a gaseous fuel using a Boy's calorimeter:
, volume of gas consumed =14 litres
gas pressure =25mmH2O
gas temperature =19C
atmospheric pressure =104,121Pa
Cooling water collected =2.3kg
Cooling water inlet temperature =13.5C
Cooling water outlet temperature =36.6C
condensate collected =5.15g
Calculate:
a. the higher or Gross calorific value of the fuel per cubic metre at NTP
b. the lower or Net calorific value of the fuel per cubic metre at NTP
Data:
Specific heat capacity of water is 4,187Jkg-1K-1
Specific latent heat of vaporisation of the condensate at NTP can be taken to be 2,453KJkg-1K-1
Normal temperature and pressure (NTP) is 15C and 101,325Pa
Density of water is 1,000kgm-3
