5.3 Calorific value 1<br />
To calculate the energy value <strong>of</strong> <strong>WAB</strong>, the calorific value <strong>of</strong> the generated WB is needed.<br />
The samples collected were given to laboratory for also determining the calorific value.<br />
However, due to l<strong>on</strong>g leave <strong>of</strong> the pers<strong>on</strong>nel <strong>on</strong> the l<strong>on</strong>gest festival <strong>of</strong> Dashahara in the<br />
country, the calorific value determinati<strong>on</strong> could not be completed in time. For the present<br />
study, however, sec<strong>on</strong>dary data and values have been used as given below:<br />
