Due to its higher oxygen content and based on its structure dietheylene glycol has a higher energy efficiency (cal/g) compared to isopropanol and paraffin wax.

What is the calorific value of a fuel?

The calorific value of a fuel is the amount of heat energy released from the combustion of the fuel under standard conditions.

Dietheylene glycol, isopropanol and paraffin wax are all used as fuels.

However, due to it higher oxygen content and based on its structure, diethethylene glycol has a higher calorific value than either isopropanol or paraffin wax.

Therefore, dietheylene glycol has a higher energy efficiency (cal/g) compared to isopropanol and paraffin wax.
