Summar

23、y of Test Method4.1 Heat of combustion is determined in this test method byburning a weighed sample in an oxygen bomb calorimeterunder controlled conditions. The heat of combustion is com-puted from temperature observations before, during, and aftercombustion, with proper allowance for thermochemica

It may be measured in minutes andseconds.4.1.3 Masses are measured in grams and no buoyancycorrections are applied.5. Significance and Use5.1 The heat of combustion is a measure of

26、the energyavailable from a fuel. A knowledge of this value is essentialwhen considering the thermal efficiency of equipment forproducing either power or heat.5.2 The heat of combustion as determined by this testmethod is designated as one of the chemical and physicalrequirements of both commercial a

27、nd military turbine fuels andaviation gasolines.5.3 The mass heat of combustion, the heat of combustionper unit mass of fuel, is a critical property of fuels intended foruse in weight-limited craft such as airplanes, surface effectvehicles, and hydrofoils. The range of such craft betweenrefueling is
