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.

What Power plant that uses uranium as a source of energy?
Uranium (or plutonium) is a source of energy (nuclear fuel) in nuclear power plants.
What should be used as a future energy source?
In the future, renewable energy and low carbon fuel sources should be used to reduce the speed of global warming and climate change.
Difference between astm oil no1 and astm oil no 3?
Can fuel oil be used in a deisel engine?
Identify the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
What is the difference between fuel oil in ships and kerosene in jet engines?

What is the difference between solar geothermal nuclear fossil fuel hydroelectric energy?
they arn't the same type of energy
Is sunlight a fuel?
No. It can be an energy source, but it's not a fuel.
Is hydroelectric energy a fossil fuel?
No it is its own source of energy
What source of energy does fossil fuel contain?
Chemical energy
What is the source of energy for fire?
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.
What fossil fuel is the main source of energy for transportation?
Petroleum is the main source of energy for transportation.
What are conventional source of energy for mankind?
Currently, human's conventional source of energy is fossil fuel.
Is petroleum a energy or a energy souces?
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.
Combustion is the rapid reaction between what?
Oxygen and a compound (or a mixture of compounds) able to burn.
What is the energy source you have from when the dinosaurs ruled the earth?
i may not be right, but the energy source should be fossil fuel
Why is hydrogen a renewable 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)
What is difference between fuel and power?
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.
