HOW TO CONVERT GROSS CV ARB TO GCV ADB?

To convert Gross Calorific Value (CV) in Air-Dried Basis (ADB) to Gross Calorific Value (GCV) in As Received Basis (ARB), you need to account for the moisture content of the fuel. The formula is:

[ \text{GCV (ARB)} = \text{GCV (ADB)} \times \left(1 - \frac{\text{Moisture content}}{100}\right) ]

Here, the moisture content should be expressed as a percentage. This adjustment reflects the reduction in energy content due to the presence of moisture in the fuel.
