When we burn coal, petroleum, diesel, kerosene, or any flammable gas, it is capable of generating electricity in a thermal power generating plants. So, the best fuel to generate electricity depends on its quality which is determined by the calorific value of a fuel. So, the question is- ...
The calorific value of biodiesel is lower (39–41 MJ/kg) compared with other liquid fuels such as petrol (46 MJ/kg), diesel fuel (43 MJ/kg) or oil (42 MJ/kg), but higher than coal (32–37 MJ/kg) [100]. The calorific value is divided in inferior calorific power (ICP) and ...

Calorific valueis an important parameter in the selection of a fuel. The caloric value ofbiodieselis lower than ofdieselbecause of its higher oxygen content[76,77,147]. FromTable 13, it can be seen that the lowest calorific value is 35.56MJ/kg forPongamia pinnata(karanja) and the highest ...
Higher and lower calorific values (heating values) for fuels like coke, oil, wood, hydrogen and others. Energy content or calorific value is the same as the heat of combustion , and can be calculated from thermodynamical values, or measured in a suitable apparatus: A known amount of the ...
2 diesel. Empirical correlations are proposed to predict the kinematic viscosity, density, and calorific value for a mixture of castor oil and No. 2 diesel. Kay mixing rule shows a good prediction for the fuel properties under study. Several polynomials are fitted using least square method, ...
