✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The method of Thornton and Dulong's formula for estimating heats of combustion are compared in this work. Heats of combustion predicted by Thornton's method for renewable resources such as wood, straw, and municipal solid wastes are considerably closer to experimentally measured values compared to values predicted by Dulong's formula. Thornton's method states that the heat of combustion is directly proportional to the quantity of oxygen consumed in the combustion process. A method which utilizes the weight fraction carbon on a dry basis and the reluctance degree to predict the heat of combustion of renewable resources is presented.

We have studied the dependence of the Auger peak shape on primary electron energy for polycrystalline iron and have succeeded in extracting information about the excitation depth distribution. Iron LMM spectra were measured with different incident primary energies (1.25-4.00 keV) and the reflection
