单词 calorific value
释义
calorific value

Physics
  • The heat per unit mass produced by complete combustion of a given substance. Calorific values are used to express the energy values of fuels; usually these are expressed in megajoules per kilogram (MJ kg−1). They are also used to measure the energy content of foodstuffs; i.e. the energy produced when the food is oxidized in the body. The units used in this context are kilojoules per gram (kJ g−1), although Calories (kilocalories) are often still used in nontechnical contexts. Calorific values are measured using a bomb calorimeter.

Chemical Engineering
  • The heating value or heat of combustion of a combustible material in oxygen. Determined using a bomb calorimeter, the calorific value is used as a measure of the energy content of a material such as a hydrocarbon fuel or foodstuff. The calorific values of fuels are usually expressed in joules per unit mass such as MJ kg−1. Hydrocarbon gases such as methane are expressed per unit volume such as MJ m−3 with reference to s.t.p. to allow for temperature and pressure variations.

Calorific values are used to express the energy values of fuels; usually these are expressed in megajoules per kilogram (MJ kg−1). They are also used to measure the energy content of foodstuffs; i.e. the energy produced when the food is oxidized in the body.
