Calorific value (plural calorific values) The amount of energy produced by the complete combustion of a material or fuel. Measured in units of energy per amount of material, e.g. KJ/kg. The amount of energy available from an item of food when digested, mostly from carbohydrates and fats.

Answer C is right. Diesel is denser than petrol and here we can conclude that the energy produced by diesel is more than the energy produced by petrol.

For gasoline lower heating value is 44 MJ/KG and higher heating value is 47.3 MJ/KG but for calorific value lower heating value use.

The answer is incorrect. Gross calorific value for petrol is 46.4 so the answer should be D.

Navneet kumar said:   3 years ago
For petrol, calorific value is 45.8MJ/kg.

And for diesel, calorific value is 45.5MJ/KG.
