What does bituminous coal?
Bituminous coal is a soft coal, compared to anthracite coal, a hard coal. Bituminous coal is a long-burning, hot burning source of fuel.
What is coal combustion?
Just what the name implies the burning of coal- as a fossil fuel, in powerhouses for example, or in old-time steam locomotives.
Is petroleum the cleanest burning fossil fuel?
No. Petrol is cleaner than coal, but it is not the cleanest. Natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is the second cleanest burning fuel?
Of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) oil is the second cleanest. Coal is the dirtiest, and natural gas (methane (CH4)) is the cleanest burning fuel, emitting the smallest amount of carbon dioxide of all the fossil fuels.
What fuel releases fewer pollutants then burning coal or oil?
Natural gas is the cleanest burning of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). It emits less greenhouse gas than the other two.
What is the solid form of fuel?
Solid fuel: coal, wood Liquid fuel: kerosine, gasoline Gas fuel: methane, hydrogen
What is a good fuel?
gasoline, coal, gas and wood
What is good fuel?
gasoline, coal, gas and wood
Are gasoline and diesel fuel both made from coal?
No

What fuels do they use in cape town?
Fuel for propelling cars is from gasoline; some of which is imported, and much of it produced from coal. Fuel for heating homes is primarily wood or coal. Fuel for power generation in Cape Town comes form Nuclear material although most electricity in South Africa is generated by burning coal.
What is fuel burning?
Fuel burning is the burning of fuel. In an automobile engine it is called combustion. The gasoline mixed with oxygen and ignited by the spark plugs explodes.
Do thick fuels burn faster?
Fuels are any mixture of a flammable substance and oxygen, as nothing can undergo combustion without the presence of oxygen. Depending on the air-fuel mixture, the fuel may burn poorly or not at all. The actual density of the fuel and the molecular construction of the fuel are factors wich play a role within the combustion process. Crude oil proves to be a poor fuel source compared to the refined gasoline it can produces, with the crude burning slowly and poorly, and the gasoline burning rapidly. Unprocessed crude oil is much denser than gasoline. This may not hold true for other fuel sources however, such as coal and wood.
What are the environmental impacts of natural gas?
The environmental impact of using natural gas is much less than the use of coal, diesel or gasoline. It is in fact the cleanest burning fuel we have. However, it is still a fossil fuel, methane, and burning it emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What does burning fossil fuel give off?
Burning fossil fuels such as natural gas, coal, oil and gasoline raises the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect and global warming.
Where does the steam locomotive get it energy from?
Burning fuel, which may be coal, wood, fuel oil, etc.
What is the relationship between coal and the Industrial Revolution?
coal was the first fuel easily converted to energy by burning it. It was burned to create steam. The first engines were steam engines until oil was processed into gasoline which was a much more efficient way to move vehicles about.
