    The document lists the higher calorific values (also known as gross calorific value or higher heating value) and lower calorific values (also known as net calorific value or lower heating value) of various common fuels measured in kilojoules per kilogram (kJ/kg). The higher calorific value considers the heat released during combustion including the heat of condensation of water produced, while the lower calorific value does not include this heat of condensation. Examples of fuels listed and their respective calorific values include coal (32,500-34,000 kJ/kg higher, 17,000-23,250 kJ/kg lower), gasoline (47,300 k

    Fuels - Higher Calorific Values

    Higher calorific values for some common fuels - coke, oil, wood, hydrogen and others The calorific value of a fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion - at constant pressure and under "normal" ("standard") conditions (i.e. to 0oC and under a pressure of 1,013 mbar). The combustion process generates water vapor and certain techniques may be used to recover the quantity of heat contained in this water vapor by condensing it.

    Higher Calorific Value (or Gross Calorific Value - GCV, or Higher Heating Value - HHV) - the water of combustion is entirely condensed and that the heat contained in the water vapor is recovered Lower Calorific Value (or Net Calorific Value - NCV, or Lower Heating Value - LHV) - the products of combustion contains the water vapor and that the heat in the water vapor is not recovered
