 * >>>>Project - Heat of Combustion (P1)**

//**Nov. 28**// - We have the calculations completed, but I'll post them up later. media type="custom" key="2090373"
 * //Nov. 26//** - I've just added the data we collected into the table, so now we can start analyzing it

Just some quick definitions:

Calorie - the amount of heat (energy) required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 °C Calorimetry - the science of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes Calorific value - the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of a substance - measured in units of energy per units of mass (eg. cal/g, kcal/kg)

Some info we should obtain in our experiments: The heat of combustion for fuels is expressed as the HHV, LHV, or GHV:
 * **HHV** - determined by bringing all the products of combustion back to the original pre-combustion temperature, and in particular condensing any vapor produced.
 * **LHV** - determined by subtracting the heat of vaporization of the water vapor from the higher heating value
 * **AR** - accounts for water in the exhaust leaving as vapor, and includes liquid water in the fuel prior to combustion


 * For the fuels:** Mr. Vincent said we should see him afterschool one day and see what materials the school already has available for us to use
