I must perform a lab to prove which fuel (out of ethanol, isopropanol or liquid paraffin) would be the best for cooking for interior camping. How would I show, with a lab, the best cooking fuel to use?

_____Calorific value per gram you have to tote
Ethanol (C2H5OH) = ?? kJ/g
Paraffin (C10H22) = ?? kJ/g
Isopropanol (C3H7OH = ?? kJ/g
Look up values here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_com…
Quickie (no lookie) answer: the higher the % O, the lower the calorific value
Of course there may other reasons BESIDES calorific value (medicinal value ala the elixir “Hadicol”) and CO and soot generation. All generate CO2.
