Lower Heating Value of a non-ideal liquid mixture
Lower Heating Value of a non-ideal liquid mixture
(OP)
Hi,
I'm looking for a correlation or a formula to calculate the Lower Heating Value (LHV) of a liquid mixture. Any idea?
Thanks

LHV = 8080 c + 28600 h......kcal/kg
where c and h are mass fractions of carbon and hydrogen, respectively.
A fuel of venezuelan origin (Oficina) some 60 years ago had the following values:
oAPI Mol. weight c h s LHV
10.9 ~380 0.855 0.116 0.018 9665
9.6 ~390 0.858 0.114 0.018 9630
8.0 ~415 0.861 0.110 0.019 9590
s is for sulfur.
These LHV may serve you as indicative values.
