TOTAL THERMAL POWER OF FUEL

If you know the mass flow rate of the fuel in the combustion unit, the total thermal power of the fuel used is given by the formula:

Where:

• PHIF: Total thermal power of the fuel used in the combustion unit in MJ/s or MW
• MPB: Fuel mass flow rate in kg/s
• LCV: Lower calorific value of the fuel in kcal/kg or MJ/kg (see also LCV calculation)
