calorific value means the total amount of heat energy evolved when 1gm of the fuel is completely burnt.
from the combustion equation find out enthalpy of combustion.then divide the molecular weight to that quantity.

Does adding oxygen increase calorific value of fuels?
No. Oxygen is not a fuel, so it has no calorific value. Some people confuse "combustion" (burning a fuel) with "supports combustion" (allows burning to take place). Oxygen supports combustion, but does not burn itself. Therefore it has no calorific value.
Advantages of fuels?
Advantages of fuels: Easily Available, Produce Large Amount of Energy, High Calorific Value and Stability. The highest consumption rate in todayâ??s world is of fossil fuel.
What are liquid fossil fuels?
Petroleum consists mainly of liquid hydrocarbons.
What modes of combustion requires liquid or solid fuels to be converted to the gas phase or vaporized?
Flaming combustion requires liquid or solid fuels to be converted to the gas phase or vaporization.
Where do flames come out of gas liquid and solid?
Not quite sure what you are asking but there are flames with both solid and liquid fuels
Explain that different fuels have different calorific value and the consequences of this?
Different fuels have different calorific values means that the different fuels have different energy contents. The consequence of this is that for a given energy output, more fuel is required with the liower calorific fuel.
Is rocket fuel solid or liquid?
There are solid rocket fuels, and there are liquid rocket fuels.
What are bio-fuels used for?
biofuels make energy from living things or their waste products

Does rockets use fossil fuels?
Yes, they use fossil fuels and they use liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen.
What is the difference between solid fuels and liquid fuels with suitable examples?
The difference will be in their physical state i.e., solid and liquid state and in their chemical composition. Solid fuels that are used are the filling inside bombs i.e,. gun powder. Liquid fuels used are RDX etc.
What is a dark liquid used to make fuels and other products called?
Petroleum is a dark liquid used to make fuels and other products.
What is name of rocket fuel?
The name of a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen, which is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. There are also other types of rocket fuels including solid fuels and hybrid fuels, but liquid hydrogen is one of the most commonly used.
What are the fuels used in rockets?
liquid hydrogen
