Heating value of fuels
Accepted Answer
The heating value of a fuel refers to the amount of energy released when a specific amount of that fuel is burned completely. It's typically expressed in units like joules per gram (J/g) or kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol). The higher the heating value, the more energy is released per unit of fuel, making it more efficient. Factors that influence the heating value include the chemical composition of the fuel, the presence of impurities, and the combustion conditions.
