What is the unit of calorific value?
kJ/kg
Calorific value is the heat energy released per unit mass of fuel on complete combustion — i.e. energy / mass. The SI unit of energy is the kilojoule (kJ) and mass is measured in kilograms (kg), giving kJ/kg.
kN/kg is force per mass, while kW/sec and kCal/sec involve time and represent rates of energy transfer (power), not energy per mass. Hence the answer is kJ/kg.
