| Abstract | The Dulong formula which determines heat of combustion (British thermal units per pound, Btu/no.) of coal from an ultimate analysis is not applicable for solid wastes samples. However, with modifications and additions the formula can reasonably estimate heat of combustion of solid waste samples. This paper discusses these modifications and additions to the Dulong formula. |
