Why does kerosene oil catch fire faster than wood?
This is because the specific heat capacity of the wood is more than the kerosene oil. So, the wood takes time to burn but burns for longer period than the kerosene oil.
Which has higher ignition temperature kerosene oil or wood?
kerosene
Why do you have to use paper are kerosene oil to start fire in wood or coal?
Paper and kerosene oil are commonly used to start fires because they are flammable materials that ignite easily and create a strong initial flame. Paper provides a quick burst of heat to ignite the wood or coal, while kerosene oil is a liquid fuel that can help sustain the fire until the wood or coal catches fire properly.
Can you mix kerosene and home heating oil in an oil furnace?
Kerosene and home heating oil can be mixed in a oil furnace. Kerosene is thinner than heating oil. Mixed together will make the furnace burn cleaner.
Why do you have to use paper or kerosene oil start fire in wood or coal?
It is difficult to ignite wood or coal using a lit match. The match would burn down and singe your fingers long before the wood or coal would light. Using kindling of dry wood shaving, or thin twigs and dry grass, or paper (with or without kerosene), will ignite with one match and burn long enough to light a fire of wood or coal.

Can you burn diesel in a kerosene heater?
Diesel and Kerosene are extremely similar.In fact Kerosene is often called #1 Fuel Oil and Diesel is called #2 Fuel Oil.Diesel should burn fine in a kerosene heater, unless you are trying to light it in very cold weather.
Why do sodium kept immersed in kerosene oil do not burn?
Sodium reacts violently with water, releasing hydrogen gas and forming sodium hydroxide. When sodium is kept immersed in kerosene oil, it is isolated from water, preventing the reaction from occurring. Kerosene oil acts as a barrier to keep oxygen away from the sodium, further preventing combustion.
Can you use kerosene in a fuel oil furnace?
Yes and no. An unmodified oil burner will burn far more kerosene than fuel oil for which it is designed. If you replace the nozzle with a smaller nozzle and adjust the air, using an orsatz [orsat gas analyzer], a device for determining the combustion efficiency of the flame, you will be able to use kerosene. * interesting fact: Kerosene is also known as #1 fuel oil, or JP5 jet fuel. Mixing kerosene with #2 fuel oil, (home heating oil) in small amounts, should have no appreciable effect on the furnace efficiency.
Is mixing kerosene and lamp oil a bad idea?
The only thing wrong with doing this is that kerosene tends to smell a little more than lamp oil and will produce more smoke and soot. But it will burn in a lamp just like the more refined lamp oil.
Why are wood petrol kerosene and oil are used as common fuel?
Readily available, inexpensive, transportable, and high energy density.
What happens when you mix coconut oil and kerosene?
