The total heat value includes chemical heat from unburned combustibles plus sensible heat from the temperature of the gas and entrained dust.

\begin{equation}\label{eq:exhaust-gas-total-heat-value-cpp} Q_{flue} = Q_{chem} + 0.0225 \cdot (T_{gas} - T_{ambient}) + Dust_{loading} \cdot 0.25 \cdot (T_{gas} - T_{ambient})\end{equation}

Symbols
\(Q_{flue}\)Total heat value per unit volume \([\unit{ \btu\per\cubicFoot}]\)
\(Q_{chem}\)Chemical heat per unit volume \([\unit{ \btu\per\cubicFoot}]\)
\(0.0225\)Sensible heat factor for gas \([\unit{ \btu\per\cubicFoot\degreeFahrenheit}]\)
\(T_{gas}\)Exhaust gas temperature \([\unit{ \degreeFahrenheit}]\)
\(T_{ambient}\)Ambient/reference temperature \([\unit{ \degreeFahrenheit}]\)
\(Dust_{loading}\)Dust loading in exhaust gas \([\unit{ \pound\per\cubicFoot}]\)
\(0.25\)Dust heat factor \([\unit{ \btu\per\pound\degreeFahrenheit}]\)
