calorific value means the total amount of heat energy evolved when 1gm of the fuel is completely burnt.

from the combustion equation find out enthalpy of combustion.then divide the molecular weight to that quantity.

Advantages of fuels?

Advantages of fuels: Easily Available, Produce Large Amount of Energy, High Calorific Value and Stability. The highest consumption rate in todayâ??s world is of fossil fuel.


Does adding oxygen increase calorific value of fuels?

No. Oxygen is not a fuel, so it has no calorific value. Some people confuse "combustion" (burning a fuel) with "supports combustion" (allows burning to take place). Oxygen supports combustion, but does not burn itself. Therefore it has no calorific value.


What modes of combustion requires liquid or solid fuels to be converted to the gas phase or vaporized?

Modes of combustion that require liquid or solid fuels to be converted to the gas phase or vaporized include gasification and pyrolysis. In gasification, solid fuels are converted into a synthetic gas mixture consisting of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can then be burned. In pyrolysis, solid or liquid fuels are heated in the absence of oxygen to break them down into gas, liquid, and solid products.


Where do flames come out of gas liquid and solid?

Not quite sure what you are asking but there are flames with both solid and liquid fuels


What are liquid fossil fuels?

Liquid fossil fuels are hydrocarbons derived from ancient organic matter, such as crude oil, gasoline, and diesel. They are formed over millions of years from the decomposition and compression of algae and other organic materials. These fuels are a major source of energy for transportation, heating, and electricity generation.

Explain that different fuels have different calorific value and the consequences of this?

Different fuels have different calorific values means that the different fuels have different energy contents. The consequence of this is that for a given energy output, more fuel is required with the liower calorific fuel.


Is rocket fuel solid or liquid?

What is calorific energy?

Calorific energy refers to the amount of heat energy released by burning a certain amount of fuel. It is commonly used to measure the energy content of fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. The higher the calorific value of a fuel, the more energy it can produce when burned.


What is the chemical formula for liquid fuels?

The chemical formulas for liquid fuels can vary depending on the specific fuel. Some common liquid fuels and their formulas include gasoline (C8H18), diesel (C12H26), and kerosene (C12H26).


Are all fuels solid?

No, not all fuels are solid. Fuels can exist in different states - solid, liquid, or gas. Examples of liquid fuels include gasoline and diesel, while examples of gaseous fuels include natural gas and hydrogen.


Does rockets use fossil fuels?

Most rockets today use liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen as fuel, not fossil fuels. These fuels react to produce water vapor and can be considered eco-friendly compared to fossil fuels. However, some rockets still use a combination of liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, which is a fossil fuel.


What is the difference between solid fuels and liquid fuels with suitable examples?

The difference will be in their physical state i.e., solid and liquid state and in their chemical composition. Solid fuels that are used are the filling inside bombs i.e,. gun powder. Liquid fuels used are RDX etc.


What is name of rocket fuel?

The name of a common rocket fuel is liquid hydrogen, which is often used in combination with liquid oxygen. There are also other types of rocket fuels including solid fuels and hybrid fuels, but liquid hydrogen is one of the most commonly used.
