Abstract: Heating Value is defined as the amount of energy released when a fuel is burned completely in a steady-flow process and the products are returned to the state of the reactants. The heating value is dependent on the phase of water/steam in the combustion products. If H2O is in liquid form, heating value is called HHV (Higher Heating Value). When H2O is in vapor form, heating value is called LHV (Lower Heating Value). The English unit BTU (British Thermal Unit) or the SSI unit of joules is commonly used. Natural gas distributed in North America is typically around 1000 Btu per standard cubic feet or 1055 joules/ per cubic foot or 37 joules per cubic meter. These units are derived on a wet or dry basis.
