In this equation, we define the quantities<br />

and<br />

q r = _Q r / _n fuel = h P − h R = h RP (15.8)<br />

where i = 1, 2, 3, … , n, and n is the number of reactants or products. In these equations, h R and h P are the total<br />

reactant and product enthalpies per unit mole of fuel consumed. Combining Eqs. (15.9) through (15.11) gives<br />

the molar heat of reaction as<br />

The heating value of a fuel is the heat of reaction produced by the complete combustion of a unit mole<br />

(or mass) of the fuel when both the reactants and the products are maintained at the standard reference state<br />

(SRS). When the fuel contains hydrogen, the combustion products contain water that can be in either the<br />

liquid or vapor phase. The higher heating value (HHV) is produced when the water in the combustion products<br />

is condensed into the liquid state, and the lower heating value (LHV) occurs when this water is in the vapor<br />

state:<br />

HHV = q r ðat the SRS and liquid H 2 OÞ<br />

LHV = q r ðat the SRS and H 2 O vaporÞ<br />

The relation between these two heating values is simply<br />

where both the HHV and the LHV are in MJ/kgmole of fuel. In this equation, n H2O/n fuel is the number of moles<br />

of water produced per mole of fuel burned, and ðh fg = 44:00 MJ=kgmole is the phase change molar specific<br />
