Solid fuel. The chemical constituents of firewood are determined by proximate analysis and the ultimate analysis

Ultimate Analysis

The ultimate analysis of a firewood  is a precise chemical determination in which six basic components of the fuel - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, sulphur and ash. they are expressed in terms of percentage by weight (e.g. kg / kg of fuel).

Proximate Analysis

It shows the four parameters: moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash in percentage by weight (e.g. kg / kg of fuel).

Generally combustion calculation is done in Kmol
