5. On burning 0.83 g of a solid fuel in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of 3500g of water increased from 26.5 °C to 29.2 °C. The water equivalent of calorimeter and the latent heat of steam are 385.0 g and 587.0 cal/g, respectively. If the fuel contains 0.7% hydrogen, calculate the GCV and NCV.

4. A 0.72 g of a fuel containing 80% carbon when burnt in a bomb calorimeter, increased the temperature of water from 27.3 °C to 29.1 °C. If the calorimeter contains 250g of water and its equivalent is 150 g, calculate the HCV (higher calorific value) of the fuel in kJ/kg. 5. On burning 0.83 g of a solid fuel in a bomb calorimeter, the temperature of 3500g of water increased from 26.5 °C to 29.2 °C. The water equivalent of calorimeter and the latent heat of steam are 385.0 g and 587.0 cal/g, respectively. If the fuel contains 0.7% hydrogen, calculate the GCV and NCV. 6. Liquid fuel weighing 0.98 g and contains 90.1% C, 8% H with the following results in bomb calorimeter experiment: Amount of water taken in calorimeter = 1450 g Water equivalent of calorimeter = 450g Rise in temperature of water = 1.8 °C If the latent heat of steam is 587 cal/g, calculate the gross and net calorific value. [Ans: 3489.79 cal/g; 3067.15 cal/g]
