Practical methods for measuring and correcting fuel energy, acids, water, and coke effects
The book provides hands-on procedures for understanding how sulfur, nitric acid, and other components alter a fuel’s true heat value in combustion tests. It shows how to adjust calorific results to reflect normal combustion and details chemical corrections and titration steps used in these calculations. The text also covers how to estimate and account for coke content, water in fuels, and the overall impact of these factors on engine performance. Readers will find step-by-step approaches, example calculations, and methods suited to different fuel types, including liquids used in engines and various oils.
