Information

1. Purpose of model

This model is used to calculate the net calorific value (NCV), also known as lower heating value (LHV) of a fuel gas mixture based on mole fractions and molar mass and respective molar calorific values from a record.

5. Nomenclature

6. Governing Equations

7. Remarks for Usage

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

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

8. Validation
