Liquids are a lot easier to handle than coal. Liquids are easily pumped and piped, while lumpy coal is a lot harder to move around.
Liquids turn into a spray that'll mix easily with air and burn well simply by being pushed through a nozzle, while coal is quite hard to get to a good burn.
And finally, petrol and diesel has higher energy density than coal. For the same amount of weight /volume a liquid fuel will transport you longer.
What else can I help you with?
Why is petrol used in cars and not coal or gas?
Petrol can ignited easier than coal. Coal fired cars would be far too slow and also they would be alot of hassel.
What kind of fuel did the earliest cars run on?
coal and then diesel
What are the petroleum products for use in your daily life?
crude oil , petrol ,coal ,diesel etc
What are all of the fossil fuels in the world?
Oil,coal,gas,petrol,diesel,peat and lignite
Why is petrol better than coal for cars?
Petrol is better fuel for cars than coal because coal is a solid therefore it has to be transported by lorries or trains, releasing carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions. Petrol however is a liquid and can be transported in tankers or sent through pipes. Furthermore, coal releases less energy than petrol.Additional answerIt would be fair to say that petrol is more efficient than coal in energy conversion terms. It's also less dirty (imagine your Mum filling up at a coal station!)
List 15 types of fossil fuels?
oil,natural gas,coal,petrol,diesel,kerosene,vaseline,
How petrol is made from coal?
Petrol is not directly made from coal, but rather through a process called coal liquefaction. In this process, coal is converted into a liquid form by heating it at high temperatures and pressures with hydrogen. The resulting liquid can then be refined to obtain fuels like petrol. However, coal liquefaction is not commonly used due to its high cost and environmental concerns.
What is dark miniral used for fuel?
Either crude oil (which is black until refined into diesel and petrol, etc). Or coal that can be burnt in steam engines and coal-fired power stations, etc.
Does trains need petrol?
Modern trains are powered by diesel or electricity. There are still some coal powered steam trains in service, mainly on tourist lines.
What types of fuels are used to power cars.?
gasoline, diesel, CNG (compressed natural gas), Propane (forklifts-not normally cars), Hydrogen gas, coal/wood for steam powered cars.
What are some sources of pollution for global warming?
In general, anything that burns things for fuel. A good example is a coal power station, which burns coal (producing carbon dioxide, and other pollution) to heat up water, to create steam etc etc. Other good candidates are: Cars, airplanes and boats which all burn fuel (petrol, diesel, paraffin)
What are the different types of fuel?
Petrol (Gasoline) Diesel LPG Biofuel Hydrogen (theoretical - Gyro-Magnetical - as a source of energy)
