The calorific value of the fuel is the amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of 1 kg of fuel.

Given, Heat produced by 4.5 kg of fuel  = 180000 kJ

\therefore Heat produced by 1 kg of fuel = 180,000 kJ/4.5 Kg = 40,000 kJ

\therefore  The calorific value of the fuel is 40,000 kJ/kg.

Heat produced by 4.5 kg of fuel =180000 KJ

Therefore , heat produced by 1kg of fuel =180000/4.5 ×1KJ/KG = 40000 KJ/KG

Hence , the calorific value of the fuel is 40,000 KJ/KG
