1. The document discusses concepts related to the calorific value of fuels including gross calorific value (GCV), net calorific value (NCV), ignition temperature, Dulong's formula, bomb calorimetry, and calculations to determine calorific values. 2. Bomb calorimetry is used to measure calorific values by burning a fuel sample in a sealed chamber surrounded by water and measuring the temperature increase. Corrections are made to account for heat losses. 3. Calculations are provided to determine the calorific value of fuel samples given their composition and bomb calorimetry experimental results like temperature change and water equivalents.

AMITY SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY AMITY UNIVERSITY APPLIED CHEMISTRY-I Semester Tutorial Sheet I (Fuel) 1 What is meant

by calorific value of a fuel? Differentiate between Gross and Net calorific values . 2 . Under what condition GCV is equal to NCV ? 3. What is ignition temperature? Why should an ideal fuel have moderate ignition temperature? 4. What is Dulongs formula ? Calculate HCV & LCV of a coal sample containing 84% C, 1.5% S, 0.6% N, 5.5% H and 8.4% O. 5. Sketch Bombs calorimeter. Explain how it is used to determine calorific value of a fuel . 6. Why and how corrections are made in determination of calorific value by Bomb calorimeter? 7. 0.72 g of fuel containing 80% carbon, when burnt in a bomb calorimeter, increased the temperature of water from 27.3 0 C to 29.10 C . If the calorimeter contains 250 g of water and its water equivalent is 150g, calculate the HCV of the fuel. Give the answer in KJ/kg. 8. A coal sample has the following composition by weight : C =90%; O = 3.0% S = 0.5 %; N = 0.5% and ash = 2.5 %. Net calorific value of the coal was found to be 8,490.5 kcal/kg . Calculate the percentage of hydrogen and higher calorific value of coal . 9. A sample of coal containing 92% C; 5% H; 3% ash ,when tested in the laboratory for its calorific value gave the following analysis : Weight of coal burnt =0.95 g; weight of water taken =700 g ; water equivalent of bomb and calorimeter =2000g ; rise in temperature =2.48 oC ; cooling correction =0.02oC fuse wire correction =10 cal ;acid correction 60 cal. Calculate the net and gross calorific value of coal in cal/g. 10. Determine the water equivalent of the Bomb calorimeter apparatus which gave the following data in an experiment: weight of Benzoic acid taken =1.346 g, weight of calorimeter=1025 g, weight of calorimeter+ water=3025g, initial temp.= 11.8720C, final temp. = 14.6250C, cooling correction= 0.0150C, heat from fuses = 22cal. The washings of the Bomb on analysis indicated the presence of 3.5 ml of N/10 HNO3 and there was no H2SO4 formed. ( The standard calorific value of Benzoic acid is 6324cal/g)
