Heat of Combustion

Only available in Build 139 or later. For Build 138 or earlier, refer to Heating Values. These will only be shown if the user has chosen to display the HeatsOfCombustion Properties on the Plant Model - Views tab page or from the Include Properties dropdown list on the first page of the material Content section.

The Heat of Combustion is the heat released (i.e. enthalpy change) if the content components undergo complete combustion with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide gas and water. The higher heating value (HHV) (or Gross Calorific Value) is calculated by assuming that the water produced is liquid water. The lower heating value (LHV) (or Net Calorific Value) is calculated by assuming that the water is produced as steam.

NOTE:

  1. The Heat of Combustion is only calculated for components which contain only carbon (e.g. carbon solid), only hydrogen (e.g. hydrogen gas) or only carbon and hydrogen (i.e. a hydrocarbon, e.g. methane (CH4)).
  2. Components which contain only carbon and oxygen (e.g. carbon monoxide) and only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (e.g. ethanol) are also included.
  3. If oxygen gas and/or carbon dioxide gas are not included in the project then the following numbers will be assumed when calculating the heat values (all values are at 298K).

Heating Values

Only available in Build 138 or earlier. For Build 139 or later, refer to Heats of Combustion.

The Heating Value is the Heat of Combustion (i.e. heat released, enthalpy change) if the content components undergo complete combustion with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide gas and water. The higher heating value (Hi) (or Gross Calorific Value) is calculated by assuming that the water produced is liquid water. The lower heating value (Lo) (or Net Calorific Value) is calculated by assuming that the water is produced as steam.

NOTE: The Heating Value is only calculated for components which contain only carbon (e.g. carbon solid), only hydrogen (e.g. hydrogen gas) or only carbon and hydrogen (i.e. a hydrocarbon, e.g. methane (CH4)). Components which contain only carbon and oxygen (e.g. carbon monoxide) and only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (e.g. ethanol) are also included.

These heating values will only be shown if the user has chosen to display Heating Values using the ShowHeatingValues tickbox.
