Abstract

Heat of formation is a critical parameter which represents the stability of matter and helps the understanding of the nature of chemical conversions. Biomass is a renewable energy material, however, there is very limited study on heat of formation of biomass. This situation inhibits study on the thermal nature of biomolecules and the counting of heat of bioconversions. The goal of this research is to formulate a simple mathematical equation for counting heat of formation of biomass. The research is divided into three sections- (i) determination of theoretical higher heating value by an empirical formula of biomass, (ii) identification of the relationship between atomic coefficients of empirical formula and stoichiometric coefficients of organic combustion, and (iii) counting of heat of formation of biomass in a thermochemical organic combustion equation. The research concludes that for any given empirical formula of biomass, the corresponding standard heat of formation can be determined by the established mathematical thermochemical organic combustion equation.
