    Study Notes

    Unit 3: Fuels

    • Fuels are materials that continue to burn if sufficient oxygen or air is present. The main components are carbon and hydrogen, along with sulfur.
    • Oxidation is a chemical combining process with oxygen. Combustion is rapid oxidation, while detonation is extremely fast.
    • Coal power plants commonly use coal to generate electricity through a process of pulverizing the coal, burning it, and converting the heat into steam. The steam spins turbines that turn generators, converting chemical energy to thermal, mechanical, and finally electrical energy.
    • Fuels are classified as solid (coal), liquid (petroleum), or gaseous (natural gas).

    Classification of Fuels

    • Petroleum is a major fuel commonly used today.
    • Natural gas is another major fuel extracted, often found near petroleum wells. It primarily consists of methane.
    • Coal is a black rock composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Coal is categorized based on hardness and energy content, ranging from anthracite (hardest,highest energy) to bituminous (intermediate), to lignite (softest,lowest energy).

    Major Forms of Fuel

    • Petroleum
    • Natural Gas
    • Coal. Coal is generally classified as anthracite, lignite, and bituminous.

    Crude Oil

    • Crude oil undergoes fractional distillation to separate various components (petrol, kerosene, diesel, and fuel oil).
    • Petrol vaporizes at low temperatures and is used in cars and bikes. Kerosene is used in jets, and diesel in heavy equipment. Fuel oil is used in ships and power plants.

    Natural Gas

    • Natural gas consists mainly of methane, along with ethane, propane, etc.
    • It's used in various applications from domestic heating to industrial processes.

    Stoichiometry

    • Stoichiometry is the branch of chemistry that deals with mass and volume relationships in chemical reactions. It's based on the Law of Definite and Multiple Proportions (in pure substances: the elements in fixed proportions by weight).

    Fuels and Combustion

    • Combustion is a chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen that releases heat and light. It's commonly used for heat generation in industry.
    • Combustion can be complete, resulting in only carbon dioxide and water as products, or incomplete, producing carbon monoxide and unburned fuel.
    • Fuels are typically categorized as gaseous, liquid, or solid.

    Combustion Analysis

    • Empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in a compound.
    • Molecular formula represents the exact number of atoms of each element in a molecule.

    Additional Points

    • Light oils include Alcohols, Alcogas, Benzole, Gasoline, Paraffin, Kerosene, and Diesel fuels.
    • Solid fuels include Coal, Wood, and Charcoal.
