    The basic calorific value for solid and liquid fuels is the gross calorific value at constant volume and for gaseous fuels it is the gross calorific value at constant pressure. The calorific value in Kcal/Kg: Coal: 40007000; Natural gas: 8600; Coal gas: 4000; Water gas: 4600-4800; and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas such as Indane): 11,900 Kcal/Kg.
