The chemical heat represents the heating value of unburned combustibles (CO, Hâ‚‚, and other combustibles) in the exhaust gas. Each component is multiplied by its heating value and summed.

\begin{equation}\label{eq:exhaust-gas-chemical-heat-cpp} Q_{chem} = \frac{CO \cdot 321 + H_{2} \cdot 325 + Combustibles \cdot 1020}{100}\end{equation}

Symbols
\(Q_{chem}\)Chemical heat per unit volume \([\unit{ \btu\per\cubicFoot}]\)
\(CO\)Percent CO in exhaust gas \([\unit{ \percent}]\)
\(H_{2}\)Percent \(H_2\) in exhaust gas \([\unit{ \percent}]\)
\(Combustibles\)Percent other combustibles in exhaust gas \([\unit{ \percent}]\)
\(321\)Heating value for CO \([\unit{ \btu\per\cubicFoot\per\percent}]\)
\(325\)Heating value for \(H_2\) \([\unit{ \btu\per\cubicFoot\per\percent}]\)
