Heat of combustion
The heating value (or energy value, calorific value, heat of combustion) of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it. The enthalpy of combustion is the same value expressed as an enthalpy, where release of heat is described as negative number. The calorific value is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. The chemical reaction is typically a hydrocarbon or other organic molecule reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and release heat. It may be expressed with the quantities: energy/mole of fuel energy/mass of fuel energy/volume of the fuel There are two kinds of heating values, called high(er) and low(er), depending on how much the products are allowed to cool and whether compounds like H2O are allowed to condense. The high heat values are conventionally measured with a bomb calorimeter. Low heat values...
