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 1, English, - heat%20of%20combustion

[...] le pouvoir calorifique d'un combustible représente la quantité de chaleur qui peut être dégagé par la combustion complète de l'unité de masse (dans le cas des combustibles solides ou liquides) ou de volume (pour les combustibles gazeux) de ce combustible [...] Le plus souvent il est exprimé en millithermies [...] et rapporté au kilogramme pour les combustibles solides ou liquides, et au mètre cube normal [...] pour les gaz. 3, record 1, French, - pouvoir%20calorifique
