The moisture content of fresh-mined anthracite generally is less than 15 percent. The heat content of anthracite ranges from 26 to 33 MJ/kg (22 to 28 million Btu/short ton) on a moist, mineral-matter-free basis. The heat content of anthracite coal consumed in the United States averages 29 MJ/kg (25 million Btu/ton), on the as-received basis ...
— "Values ranging from 21.3 to 21.5 gm/cm 3 at 20 °C have been reported for the density of annealed platinum; the best value being about 21.45 gm/cm 3 at 20 °C." 21.46 g/cm 3 — Rose, T. Kirke. The Precious Metals, Comprising Gold, Silver and Platinum .
This removes high-ash value particle and increases the saleability of the coal as well as its energy content per unit volume. Thus, coals must be subjected to a float-sink test in the laboratory, which will determine the optimum particle size for washing, the density of the wash liquid required to remove the maximum ash value with the minimum work.
Its bank density (the density of a coal seam prior to breaking up during mining) is about 1346 kg/m 3 (84 lb/ft 3) while the bulk density of extracted coal is up to 833 kg/m 3 (52 lb/ft 3). [12] Bituminous coal characteristically burns with a smoky flame and softens and swells during combustion. [13]
The heat content of sub-bituminous coals range from 8300 to 11,500 BTu/lb or 19.3 to 26.7 M J/kg. Their relatively low density and high water content renders some types of sub-bituminous coals susceptible to spontaneous combustion if not packed densely during storage in order to exclude free air flow.

The contribution of the muscle to the specific heat of the body is approximately 47%, and the contribution of the fat and skin is approximately 24%. The specific heat of tissues range from ~0.7 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for tooth (enamel) to 4.2 kJ · kg−1 · °C−1 for eye (sclera). [13]
Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume.The symbol most often used for density is ρ (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used.
