Calorific value refers to the amount of heat produced by a unit volume of a substance through complete combustion.The unit of calorific value is kJ/kg or kJ/g.
Features of the optimum fuel:
●       Fuel is inexpensive and readily supplied
●       Burns easily in the air at a moderate temperature
●       Significant amount of energy
●       Fuel eco-friendly must not emit any dangerous pollutants.
How good a fuel is based on its calorific value. Thus, higher the calorific value, higher is the efficiency of fuel.
Hence, the amount of heat created when 1 g of fuel is completely burned is known as the fuel's calorific value.
