    Computer Materials

    Just wondering if anyone knows what types of metals are used for making up a computer, in particular the structural unit? Also what types of plastics are used in the covering/casings? Would appreciate any help!

    Gross to Net Calorific Value

    Pity I hadn't kept track of the condensed water now! I don't know what I'll do to convert my results now! Is there any formula whereby I knew the moisture content of the sample that I could backtrack?

    Gross to Net Calorific Value

    Thanks guys. These formulae seem to be more for oil and diesel fuels etc rather that actual materials e.g. carpets, timbers etc? Any further ideas because I am stumped!

    Gross to Net Calorific Value

    Having obtained gross calorific values for a range of materials by testing in a bomb calorimeter, I need to convert these to net calorific values for inputting these into design formulas... Is there any way of converting gross to net? Any help would be appreciated.

    Net and Gross Calorific Values

    Having obtained gross calorific values for a range of materials, I need to convert these to net calorific values for inputting these into design formulas... However, the testing machine only outputs gross calorific values... Is there any way of converting gross to net? Any help would be...

    Calorific Values

    In terms of fire engineering, what kind of data can you get from using the calorific values of materials in a compartment beside just for calculating fire loads? Can I go any further? Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
