I'd like to know how to calculate the lower heating value (LHV) of a liquid fuel e.g. kero. Is it the same as the calculation method for gases i.e.

Product LHV = sum(mass fraction*component LHV)

or is it different?

Does it make a difference whether i use mass or mole fraction if I use the corresponding units for LHV i.e. mole fraction*MJ/mol and mass fraction*MJ/kg?

Finally, where can i get LHV data for C20 and above?
