What is the factor on which, difference between the two heating values of fuel depends on?(a) Physical properties(b) Reactants(c) Chemical composition(d) ProductsThis question was addressed to me in an internship interview.I'm obligated to ask this question of Calorific Value of Fuels in section Steam Power Plant of Energy Engineering

Answer»

Right answer is (c) CHEMICAL composition

To elaborate: The DIFFERENCE between the two heating values depends on the chemical composition of the fuel. In the CASE of pure carbon or carbon MONOXIDE, the two heating values are almost IDENTICAL, the difference being the sensible heat content of carbon dioxide between 150^oC to 25^oC.
