(a) Define the calorific value of a fuel.
(b) “The calorific value of LPG is 55000 KJ/kg”. What does it mean?
(a) The amount of heat produced by the complete burning or combustion of 1 Kilogram of a fuel is called its calorific value.
The calorific value of a fuel is expressed in the unit of Kilojoules per kilogram.
(b) The calorific value of LPG is 55000 KJ/Kg means when 1 Kg of LPG is burned completely, then 55000 KJ of heat energy is produced.
