Question:2

A fuel is any material that can be made to react with other substances so that it releases energy
as heat energy or to be used for work. ... Fuels are also used in the cells of organisms in a
process known as cellular respiration, where organic molecules are oxidized to release usable
energy.

Materials like coal, wood, oil, or gas can provide heat when burned. Methanol, Gasoline,
Diesel, Propane, Natural gas, Hydrogen are types of fuel. Nuclear energy is produced by
burning plutonium

The energy produced by burning fuel has many applications, such as powering vehicles, ships,
and airplanes as well as providing electricity for homes and buildings. Some common types
of fuels are petro fuel, gas oil, diesel fuel, fuel oils, aviation fuel, jet fuel, and marine fuels

Fuel Types

 Methanol. Also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, this flammable,

colorless liquid is the simplest alcohol. ...
 Gasoline. Only 19 gallons out of every 42-gallon barrel of crude oil ends up as
gasoline. ...
 Diesel. ...
 Natural gas. ...
 Hydrogen. ...
 Biodiesel

characteristics of fuel:

 It should possess high calorific value.

 It should have proper ignition temperature. ...
 It should not produce poisonous products during combustion. ...
 It should have moderate rate of combustion.
 Combustion should be easily controllable i.e., combustion of fuel should be easy
to start or stop as and when required.
three characteristic of a good fuel.
Answer
1. It should possess high calorific value.
2. It should have proper ignition temperature. The ignition temperature of the fuel
should neither be too low nor too high.
3. It should not produce poisonous products during combustion. In other words, it
should not cause pollution o combustion.
4. It should have moderate rate of combustion.
5. Combustion should be easily controllable i.e., combustion of fuel should be easy to
start or stop as and when required.
6. It should not leave behind much ash on combustion.
7. It should be easily available in plenty.
8. It should have low moisture content.
9. It should be cheap.
10. It should be easy to handle and transport
