Calorific Value--A pound of petroleum usually has a calorific value of
from 18,000 to 22,000 B. t. u. If an ultimate analysis of an average
sample be, carbon 84 per cent, hydrogen 14 per cent, oxygen 2 per cent,
and assuming that the oxygen is combined with its equivalent of hydrogen
as water, the analysis would become, carbon 84 per cent, hydrogen 13.75
per cent, water 2.25 per cent, and the heat value per pound including
its contained water would be,
Carbon .8400 × 14,600 = 12,264 B. t. u.
Hydrogen .1375 × 62,100 = 8,625 B. t. u.
------[**Should be .1375 x 62,000 = 8,525]
Total 20,889 B. t. u.[**Would be Total = 20,789]
The nitrogen in petroleum varies from 0.008 to 1.0 per cent, while the
sulphur varies from 0.07 to 3.0 per cent.
Table 46, compiled from various sources, gives the composition,
calorific value and other data relative to oil from different
localities.
