How much heat is released during the complete combustion of 1 kg of peat?
| November 23, 2020 | education
The formula for calculating the amount of heat during fuel combustion: Q = q * m, where q is a tabular value – specific heat of combustion. In our case, for peat q = 1.4 * 10 ^ 7 Joule / kg. (10 to the power of 7). Q = 1 kg * 1.4 * 10 ^ 7 J / kg = 14,000,000 Joules, or 14 MJ (1 Megajoule = 1,000,000 Joules).
The answer is to release 14 MJ of heat.
