Unburned
fuel Loss % = K4 x CO / ( CO + CO
2
) Note: CO scaled in %
Where K4 = 70 for coke
= 65 for anthracite
= 63 for Bituminous coal
= 62 for coal tar fuel
= 48 for liquid petroleum fuel
= 32 for natural gas
The formula for K4 is based on the gross calorific value Qgr. To obtain the loss based
on net calorific value multiply by Qgr/Qnet. Since this loss is usually small this
conversion has been ignored. This loss is subtracted from the efficiency.
