Fuels
Cards (104)
- Any combustible substance containing carbon as a major constituent, which is able to produce large amount of heat by combustion.
- It carries energy in chemical form.
- Substance that contains carbon or carbon and hydrogen (hydrocarbon) that undergoes oxidation of carbon to carbon dioxide during combustion.
- This refers to the exothermal oxidation of a fuel, by air or oxygen, occurring at a sufficiently rapid rate, to produce a high temperature of heat.
- A chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen producing heat, light, and flame.
- What is a derivative of wood that has been discovered after plant-derived fuels from animal fats?
- When was coal discovered?
- What is a derivative of charcoal?
- It is a waxy substance found in the head cavities of sperm whales, and it is related to sperm oil as it was historically harvested from the same whales for various purposes, such as in candles and lubricants.
- It is a liquid wax obtained from the blubber or head cavities of sperm whales, historically valued for its clear, odorless quality and used in applications such as lamps, candles, and lubricants.
- What are the two classifications of fuels?
- On the basis of occurrence, what are the two types of fuel?
- These are fuels that occur naturally.
- What are the examples of primary fuel?
- These are organic matter that were formed millions of years ago.
- There are fuels that are derived from a naturally occurring process by a treatment process.
- What are examples of secondary fuels?
- What are the three types of fuel on the basis of physical state?
- Wood and peat are what type of fuel?
- Natural gas is what type of primary fuel?
- What type of primary fuel is crude oil?
- What type of secondary fuel are coke and charcoal?
- What type of secondary fuel are LPG and petrol?
- What type of secondary fuel are coal gas and water gas?
- What is the amount of heat released during the complete combustion of a specific quantity of a substance, usually measured in energy per unit mass (e.g., joules per kilogram) or energy per unit volume (e.g., joules per cubic meter)?
- What refers to the regulated and manageable process of burning fuel in a controlled environment, allowing for adjustments in heat output, efficiency, and other parameters?
- On the basis of physical state, what is the most expensive fuel?
- What fuel requires huge and leak proof storage?
- What type of fuel requires closed container for storing?
- What is the least dangerous type of fuel?
- What type of fuel has the highest calorific value?
- What types of fuel can be used in internal combustion engine?
- What type of fuel produces the most ash?
- What form of fuel produces smoke invariably?
- What types of fuel have very rapid and efficient combustion rate?
- What fuel has the highest thermal efficiency?
- What natural fuel may be burned directly as a fuel or maybe converted into charcoal or producer gas?
- What is a brown fibrous mass of partially decayed plant material that has accumulated under water at conditions pressure and temperature?
- What natural fuel may be burned directly as a fuel or maybe converted into charcoal or producer gas?
- What are immature coals that are intermediate in composition between peat and bituminous coals and are about 1 to 100 Million years old?
