“A Review of Current Experimental and Correlation Methods to Determine the Calorific Energy Content of Liquid Fuels”

Question #1

The title and deliverable “state energy content of liquid fuels” but (and I missed this point when reviewing!) should the scope only cover aviation liquid fuels (as per background description) or is it expected to cover grades for other applications (diesel, gasoline, marine fuels etc etc).  This needs clarifying.

Answer #1

The title was chosen to reflect the current Referee method in ASTM D1655:

‘ASTM D4809 Standard Test Method for Heat of Combustion of Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels by Bomb Calorimeter (Precision Method).’

Appreciate the observation that the focus is on aviation fuels but useful to emphasize that a broad review is required, rather than risk implying techniques must already be aviation specific
