What is calarafic value?

Calorific value, also known as heating value, refers to the amount of energy released when a substance is completely burned. It is typically expressed in units such as joules per kilogram (J/kg) or calories per gram (cal/g). There are two types: the higher calorific value (HCV), which includes the energy from water vapor condensation, and the lower calorific value (LCV), which does not. This measurement is crucial for evaluating the efficiency and energy content of fuels.
