M
Bdb
– Weight of test fuel burned during test run, dry basis, kg
ASTM E2779 equation (1)
M
Bdb
= (M
Swb
- M
Ewb
)(100/(100 + FM))
Where,
FM = average fuel moisture of test fuel, % dry basis
M
Swb
= weight of test fuel in hopper at start of test run, wet basis, kg
M
Ewb
= weight of test fuel in hopper at end of test run, wet basis, kg
Sample Calculation:
5.9 %
M
Swb
=
41.5 lbs
M
Ewb
=
28.5 lbs
0.4536 = Converstion factor from lbs to kg
M
Bdb
= [( 41.5 x 0.4536) - ( 28.5 x 0.4536)]
(100/(100 +
5.91 )
M
Bdb
=
5.6 kg
