Measurement of Heat of Combustion. In boiler practice, the heat of combustion of a fuel is the amount of heat, expressed in Btu, generated by the complete combustion(or oxidation) of a unit weight(1 pound in the United States) of fuel. Calorific value or "fuel Btu value" are other terms used... For accurate heat values of solid and liquid fuels calorimeter determinations are required. However, approximate heat values may be determined for most coals if the ultimate chemical analysis is known. 2, record 2, English, - heat%20of%20combustion

Net calorific value(NCV) is the number of heat units obtained by the complete combustion of a unit mass(for solids and liquids) or a unit volume(for gases) ;it is assumed that the make-up fuel and the agent of combustion are at atmospheric pressure and 25 ° C, that the combustion products are brought to the same pressure and temperature and that the water of combustion is present at steam. 1, record 23, English, - agent%20of%20combustion
