SLHV... ? What's the "s"?
SLHV... ? What's the "s"?
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
I came across the abbreviation SLHV, does anyone know what the "S" stands for?
This abbreviation is used when talking fuel and heating values - I like to think I understand the HHV, LHV and LCV,
I just cant seem to find anything on the "S".
Thanks guys.

It is better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong, than to be always right by having no ideas at all.

depending on whether or not you take into account the energy needed to evaporate the water within the combustion cycle, the BTUs becomes an LHV or HHV figure.

CWB1 - So you are saying that the LHV and HHV are assumptions, and the S makes it a standard assumption?
I feel like I'm missing something here. xD

Liquid onroad fuel in the first world is the most chemically consistent fuel worldwide, but it still varies. In the second and third world even onroad fuel varies significantly as they arent regulated to the high standards the rest of us are. Offroad fuels everywhere vary significantly, head out into the US oilpatch or even your local trash dump and you'll see generators burning whatever comes out of the ground. When you get into the gaseous fuel world, composition and LHV vary significantly hence my quoting of "standard" above, book values often being rather optimistic. That variation might not seem important, but when you're developing a large engine burning many thousands of gallons of third world fuel per year it impacts calibration and even hardware decisions as a 1% improvement in fuel economy can be tens of thousands of US$$$/year.

Guessing the meaning of an acronym without the surrounding context (of the given instance) has become dangerous in this age where we need 'Disambiguation Pages' listing the surprisingly-numerous possibilities of any acronym.
