Net heat of combustion. In the case of solid fuels and liquid fuels of low volatility, a lower value calculated from gross calorific values as the heat produced by combustion of unit quantity at constant atmospheric pressure, under conditions, such that all water in the products remain in the form of vapor. 11, record 1, English, - lower%20heating%20value
