While calculating HCV, if we need to apply the fuse wire, acid and cooling corrections then what is the formula for HCV? /weight of fuel b) HCV = /weight of fuel c) HCV = /weight of fuel d) HCV = /weight of fuel

Correct Answer: HCV = /weight of fuel
The cooling correction must be added to the temperature difference because the heat loss is may be conduction, convection or radiation. The sum of acid and fuse corrections are subtracted because the heat produced by exothermic reactions is already included in the change in temperature. So, it is to be subtracted to get HCV.
