Petrol has a higher value of the heat of combustion.
Burning charcoal is spontaneous, but not at room temperature. To start the combustion energy must be added (in the form of heat). Once the temperature of the charcoal reaches a certain temperature it reacts exothermically and releases heat. This heat of reaction is sufficient to locally heat more charcoal so that it burns continuously.
The carbon (the main component of charcoal) is oxidized, releasing heat, which is why it is called a fuel. There are other flammable components in charcoal that also are oxidized, adding their bit to the energy release.
The experimental molar heat of combustion is the heat released by the total combustion of a substance, determined in a calorimeter.
NCV means Net Calorific Value. The lower calorific value or Net calorific value (NCV) which supposes that the products of combustion contain the water of combustion to the vapor state. The heat contained in this water is not recovered.
Heat of combustion is a chemical property of matter.
Add heat and you get combustion.

how does the heat of combustion of propane compare to the heat of combustion of paraffin wax
Natural gas is not just one type of hyrdocarbon, and so its heat of combustion (or enthalpy of combustion) will vary from sources. However, it is primarily formed from methane which has a "heat of combustion" of 889 Kilojoules per mole, you could use that value. Hope that's what you wanted!

Its the heating value of the fuel.So actually its the amount of heat or energy realeased during fuel combustion.
The heat of combustion for decane is 6779 kJ / mol. Heat of combustion increases with chain length of alkanes.
The experimental molar heat of combustion is the heat released by the total combustion of a substance, determined in a calorimeter.
GCV, gross calorific value, is the quantity of heat produced by combustion. UHV, useful heat value, is the gradation of non-coking coal.
The water gas has a high calorific value because it produces immense heat during its combustion.
