Lower heating value — The lower heating value (also known as net calorific value , net CV , or LHV ) of a fuel is defined as the amount of heat released by combusting a specified quantity (initially at 25 °C or another reference state) and returning the temperature of … Wikipedia
Lower (Net) Heating Value — The lower or net heat of combustion for a fuel that assumes that all products of combustion are in a gaseous state. (See Net Heating Value below.) … Energy terms
Higher Heating Value — (HHV) The maximum heating value of a fuel sample, which includes the calorific value of the fuel (bone dry) and the latent heat of vaporization of the water in the fuel. (See moisture content and net (lower) heating value, below.) … Energy terms
Heating Value — The amount of heat produced from the complete combustion of a unit of fuel. The higher (or gross) heating value is that when all products of combustion are cooled to the pre combustion temperature, water vapor formed during combustion is… … Energy terms
net calorific value — (net heat of combustion at constant pressure), n the heat produced by combustion of unit quantity of a solid or liquid fuel when burned, at a constant pressure of 1 atm (0.1 MPa), under conditions such that all the water in the products remains… … Coke&Coal Terminology
