D. CALCULATION OF FUEL DATA
For any fuel not specified by Kane International the net calorific value, gross calorific
value and composition should be obtained from the fuel supplier.
The following fuel data has been calculated with reference to the efficiency
calculation.
Example 1:
Chemical composition:
C
25%
H2 3%
H2O
50%
Qnet
8.35
MJ/kg
Qg 9.3
MJ/kg *
Max CO2 20.4%
K1n
= (255 x % carbon in fuel) / Qnet (kJ/Kg)
= (255 x 25) / 8350 =
0.763
K1g
= (255 x % carbon in fuel) / Qg (kJ/Kg)
= (255 x 25) / 9300 =
0.685
K2
= Max % CO2 =
20.40
K3
= Wet Loss
= [(9 x %H2 + %H2O) / 9300] x 2425
= [(9 x 3 + 50) / 9300] x 2425
= (77 / 9300) x 2425 =
20.08
K4
=
