Where C^p is the carbon content in the bagasse, and W and A are the bagasse moisture and ash contents. Subscripts H and L indicate values given by Hugot and those experimentally determined in the laboratory analysis, respectively. Similar equations can be written for the other chemical components, i.e. hydrogen and oxygen.
carbon content in bagasse annual cost per m2 of surface area
ash content in fuel or in refuse (%)
bagasse moisture (%)
