A fuel is one type of energy source. Fuels usually work by buning in air to produce heat, which then does further work in a turbine or other form of heat engine. When a carbon fuel is burned, the mass of oxygen taken from the air exceeds the mass of fule that has to be stored and/or carried, so using fuel is very attractive, and efficient in terms of mass and volume.
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
In the future, renewable energy and low carbon fuel sources should be used to reduce the speed of global warming and climate change.
Can fuel oil be used in a deisel engine?
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
fuel oil is used by faggets who are member of the dick circle where as kerosene is used by people with dicks coming out their ears
they arn't the same type of energy
No. It can be an energy source, but it's not a fuel.
No it is its own source of energy
Chemical energy
The source of energy for fire is typically heat, which causes a chemical reaction between a fuel source (such as wood or gas) and oxygen in the air. This reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light, sustaining the fire.
Petroleum is the main source of energy for transportation.
Currently, human's conventional source of energy is fossil fuel.
It is a source of energy. Meaning that we can drill for it and then we have it, we don't have to create it. On the other hand hydrogen fuel has energy, but it isn't a source of energy because we can't simply drill for it, instead we have to create it. So while oil is a source of energy, other energy storing compounds like hydrogen fuel are not fuel sources.
Oxygen and a compound (or a mixture of compounds) able to burn.
i may not be right, but the energy source should be fossil fuel
Hydrogen is not a renewable fuel. It is a secondary energy source (or an energy carrier) that could be produced using another primary energy source. Hydrogen could be produced using either renewable primary energy source (e.g. solar energy), nuclear energy, or by using fossil fuel (e.g. natural gas)
Power is energy that you can put to work, such as the electric current produced from a generator or engine.Fuel is a material with potential energy, it can be used to produce energy.
