Abstract
The high heat value of black coal was measured in a calorimetric set-up. Analysis of the data showed that the coal combustion heat is directly dependent on carbon content. An increase in oxygen content causes a decrease in the calorific efficiency of raw coal. Confirmatory calculation of coal combustion heat according to the empirical formulas of Mendeleev, Dulong, Vondracek, Nivel and Given showed that the smallest deviations of calculated Qdaf values from experimental data on combustion heat may be obtained using Mendeleev's and Nivel's formulas.
