Study Notes
Introduction to Fuels
- A fuel is a substance that contains carbon and hydrogen and undergoes combustion in the presence of oxygen to produce a large amount of energy.
Classification of Fuels
- Fuels can be classified into two categories based on their occurrence:
- Natural or Primary Fuels: These fuels are naturally present.
- Artificial or Secondary Fuels: These fuels are synthesized from primary fuels.
