Net Calorific Value vs. Gross Calorific Value: What's the …
NCV is always lower than GCV as it considers the latent heat of vaporization of water. 10. Gross Caloric Value is a measure of all the energy available in the fuel, while Net Caloric Value provides a more realistic figure of the actual usable energy. GCV assumes all the products of combustion, including water, are in gaseous form, whereas NCV ...
