By custom 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 word ‘gross’ here signifies that the water formed and liberated
during combustion is in the liquid phase. The values given are approximate because many of the substances listed are not well
defined. The calorific values of pure substances can be calculated from information in Section 3.10. More detailed information
on technical fuels can be found in J. W. Rose and J. R. Cooper (eds) (1977) Technical Data on Fuel, 7th edn, British National
Committee, World Energy Conference, London.
