Accounting for moisture




Both HHV and LHV can be expressed in terms of AR (all moisture counted), MF and MAF (only water from combustion of hydrogen). AR, MF, and MAF are commonly used for indicating the heating values of coal:

  • AR (as received) indicates that the fuel heating value has been measured with all moisture- and ash-forming minerals present.
  • MF (moisture-free) or dry indicates that the fuel heating value has been measured after the fuel has been dried of all inherent moisture but still retaining its ash-forming minerals.
  • MAF (moisture- and ash-free) or DAF (dry and ash-free) indicates that the fuel heating value has been measured in the absence of inherent moisture- and ash-forming minerals.

10)Described: What to expect on Republic Morning 2021and what not to

India Republic Day -- Republic Day 2021: In 2020it was the agitation from the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Nowthousands of farmersgenerally from Punjab and Haryanahave been camping at the borders of Delhi for more than 2 monthsdemanding the Centre repeal the three farm laws. For the second year in a stripRepublic Day celebrations from the national capital will be kept under the shadow of raging protests against laws approved by the Centre. In 2020it was the agitation from the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). This timethousands of farmersgenerally from Punjab and Haryanahave been camping at the borders of Delhi for more than 2 monthsdemanding the Centre repeal the three farm laws. This years Republic Day march will also be the first major open public event in pandemic moments. What is new this year The big event will be pared down the number of spectatorsthe size of walking contingents and other side attractions. The spectator size has become reduced to 25000 from around 1 . 25 l...

Heat of combustion

The heating value (or energy value or calorific value ) of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it. The calorific value is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. The chemical reaction is typically a hydrocarbon or other organic molecule reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and release heat. It may be expressed with the quantities: There are two kinds of heat of combustion, called higher and lower heating value, depending on how much the products are allowed to cool and whether compounds like H 2 O are allowed to condense. The values are conventionally measured with a bomb calorimeter. They may also be calculated as the difference between the heat of formation Δ H ⦵ f of the products and reactants (though this approach is somewhat artificial since most heats of formation are calculated from ...
