How to Calculate and Solve for %Heat Loss due to Hydrogen in Fuel | Fuel and Furnaces

The image above represents %heat loss due to hydrogen in fuel. To calculate the %heat loss due to hydrogen in fuel, five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Mass of Hydrogen (H2), Specific Heat (Cp), Flue Gas Temperature (Tfg), Ambient Temperature (Tamb) and Gross Calorific Value of Fuel (GCVf).

The formula for calculating %heat loss due to hydrogen in fuel:

%QL = 100(9H2(584 + Cp(Tfg – Tamb))GCVf)

Where:

%QL = %Heat Loss due to Hydrogen in Fuel
H2 = Mass of Hydrogen
Cp = Specific Heat
Tfg = Flue Gas Temperature
Tamb = Ambient Temperature
GCVf = Gross Calorific Value of Fuel

Let’s solve an example;
Find the %heat loss due to hydrogen in fuel when the mass of hydrogen is 21, the specific heat is 13, the flue gas temperature is 11, the ambient temperature is 16 and the gross calorific value of fuel is 14.

This implies that;

H2 = Mass of Hydrogen = 21
Cp = Specific Heat = 13
Tfg = Flue Gas Temperature = 11
Tamb = Ambient Temperature = 16
GCVf = Gross Calorific Value of Fuel = 14

%QL = 100(9H2(584 + Cp(Tfg – Tamb))GCVf)
%QL = 100(9(21)(584 + 13(11 – 16))/14)
That is, %QL = 100((189)(584 + 13(-5))/14)
%QL = 100((189)(584 + (-65))/14)
%QL = 100((189)(519)/14)
So, %QL = 100((98091)/14)
%QL = 100(7006.5)
%QL = 700650

Therefore, the %heat loss due to hydrogen fuel is 700650%.
