In a bomb calorimeter experiment, following data was obtained: x = 0.85gm, W = 2.5kg, w = .5kg, observed rise in temperature = 2.25 ^0C, tA = 38.6 calories, tF = 6.8 calories, tT = 1.9 calories and tC = 0.05 ^0C. Calculate net calorific value if the coal contains 10 % hydrogen?
(a) 7533.7 cal/gm
(b) 5704.655 cal/gm
(c) 8062 cal/gm
(d) 8.062 cal/gm
This question was addressed to me in semester exam.
Question is from Determination of Calorific Value of Solid and Non-Volatile Liquid Fuels in chapter Fuels and Combustion of Engineering Chemistry II
