(or
1 kg) of fuel is burned completely at a specified temperature and pressure.
hC = Hprod Hreact
The heating value or heat of reaction is numerically equal to the heat of combustion:
Heating value = |hC|
The Lower Heating Value (LHV) is referred to when H2O in the products is in vapor form.
The Higher Heating Value (HHV) is referred to when H2O in the products is in liquid form.
For methane burning at 25oC and 1atm: LHV = 50,016 kJ/kg (or 802405kJ/kmol), HHV =
55,528 kJ/kg
