A furnace is fired with sub bituminous coal with 10.3% moisture, 34% VCM and 7.7% Ash. It is also known to contain 1.2% N and 1.57% S. It’s HHV is 22 MJ/kg. Find its proximate analysis, modified analysis, ultimate analysis, analysis of the VCM and calorific value of the VCM.
Question 3 [Total Marks- 25 Biomass, Bioenergy and Biomass Supply Chain a) Briefly describe how to use a bomb calorimeter to measure the higher heating value (HHV of a biomass fuel. 5 Marks] The data for proximate analysis and ultimate analysis of a woody biomass are given in Table 1. The higher heating value (HHV, MJ/kg) of the fuel can be estimated using the equation below: b) HHV-19.914-0.2324 x Ash, where Ash is the weight percentage on dry biomass basis....
