2.2.3. Calorific Value

Calorific value (CV) is a crucial fuel property since it is directly related to power output of the engine [30]. This parameter has been determined following the Kay Mixing rule (Equation (1)):

$$\text{CV} = \sum\_{i} \text{CV} \text{Xi} \tag{1}$$

where *CVi* is the calorific value of each component and *Xi* is the volumetric fraction of every component [33].
