Abstract
A new equation is proposed to predict the lower heating value of hazardous and non-hazardous materials. The equation was developed by a statistical co rrelation of heating value and composition data for a variety of materials as reported in a number of sources. The model takes into account the carbon , hydrogen, oxygen, chlorine, and sulfur content of the material being comb usted.
