Types of Fuels

This document discusses different types of fuels, including solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. Solid fuels include coal, wood, and charcoal. Coal forms from vegetation over time under pressure and heat and is classified based on its carbon content. Liquid fuels include gasoline and liquid petroleum gas (LPG). Gaseous fuels include natural gas and hydrogen, and are classified based on their caloric value and content. The document provides details on key solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels used as energy sources.

TYPES OF

FUELS

MEANING OF FLUES

Fuel is the source of energy that makes an


engine or machine function. Gasoline is the
fuel used in most automobiles. The wind is
the fuel for wind-turbine generators, and for
sailing vessels. Uranium is the fuel for atomic
powered submarines.

SOLID FUELS

Solid fuel refers to various types of solid


material that are used as fuel to produce
energy and provide heating, usually released
through combustion.

Solid fuels include wood (see wood


fuel), charcoal, peat, coal, Hexamine
fuel tablets, and pellets made from
wood (see wood pellets), corn,
wheat, rye and other grains.
Solid fuel can be defined as any
type of solid material that can be
used as a fuel to produce energy
and heating. This is
predominantly achieved through
burning the materials, and the
most common types of solid fuel
are coal, wood, charcoal and

Coal
Coal is without question the most famous and
distinguishable solid fuel. A combustible,
sedimentary, organic rock (composed primarily of
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen) coal is formed from
vegetation, which has been consolidated between
other rock strata to form coal seams, and altered by
the combined effects of microbial action, pressure
and heat over a considerable time period.

Coal is afforded a classification of "rank"


which is based on the degree of the original
plant material's transformation to carbon. The
ranks of coal, from those with the least carbon
to those with the most carbon, are:

1. Bituminous Hard Coal


2. Anthracite Hard Coal
3. Lignite Low Rank
4. Sub Bituminous Low Rank

LIQUID FUEL

An evaporative emissions system component


mounted above the fuel tank that prevents
liquid gasoline from entering the vent lines. A
liquid fuel rocket is one that runs on a fuel in
liquid state. The most commonly used fuels
are liquid hydrogen and oxygen.

LIQUID/FUEL SEPARATOR
An evaporative emissions
system component mounted
above the fuel tank that
prevents liquid gasoline from
entering the vent lines.

Liquid gases are mixtures of


hydrocarbons (C3-C4) being
aside product of crude oil
processing.
LPG Liquid Petroleum Gas
Major components of LPG:
- propane ( C3H8)
- butane (i iso-butane) (C4H10)

GASEOUS FUELS
Between gas prices and
alternative fuels, fuel is always
on the consumer's mind.

TYPES OF GASEOUS
FUELS
With regards to the
origin:
natural (natural gas, mine gas,
liquid gases),
synthetic (town gas, coke gas,
product of coal
gasification, hydrogen)

With regards to the caloric


value:
high caloric (example: with high methane
content,
HCV = 39 MJ/m3),
low caloric (example: with high nitrogen
