f 1 gram-mole of Heat of Combustion of Natural Gas
The heat of combustion of natural gas is calculated at 298.15 K in SI units,
to eleven other units. Data in Tables I and II are from the FREED database. C for one gram-mol of natural gas burned completely to CO2 and H2O. Cells H35 the oxygen required for stoichiometric combustion of 1 gram-mol of NG. The calculator contains a sample system. Changing any blue-bordered cel result in recalculation of all other dependent values. The molar Hcomb is calcu H2O(g) as a combustion product and posted in cell I30. The Lower Heating Val obtained by changing the sign of the Hcomb and posting this value to cell K15. other units are calculated in column K by using conversion factors. The Higher Heating Value (HHV) is calculated in cell L15 by taking into acco condensation of water vapor (cell K48). Values for other units are calculated in using conversion factors. The non-SI energy units are thermochemical in nature. 1 kcalth is equal to 4 Btuth is equal to 1054.35 J. The definition of STP for standard volumes is listed boxes near cell N24. For SI, the standard temperature is 0 C. Worksheet HofReax vsT examines the variability of DHcomb with temperatu
