Information

1. Purpose of model

This model is used to calculate the gross calorific value (GCV), also known as higher heating value (HHV) of a fuel gas mixture based on the mass fractions and respective mass weighted calorific values from a record.

2. Level of detail, physical effects considered, and physical insight

3. Limits of validity

4. Interfaces

5. Nomenclature

(no elements)

6. Governing Equations

7. Remarks for Usage

If there are components in the gas which don't have a corresponding entry in the GCV values record, they will just be ignored, giving a faulty calorific value. The function will throw a warning.

GCVIn was added to give the possibility to define a constant calorific value. If this value is set to 0, the GCV will be calculated by the composition of the defined medium.

8. Validation
