 The choice of fuel depends on the purpose of the combustion process and several other factors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1.          Energy content per volume or per mass<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2.          Safety<\/li>\n\n\n\n

    \u00a0Classification of\u00a0\u00a0Fuels\u00a0by Phase at Ambient Conditions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Distribution methods and combustion processes vary based on a fuel\u2019s state of matter, making the phase of  fuel<\/a> at standard conditions a logical basis for classification<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u00a0 \u00a0a) Solid\u00a0\u00a0Fuel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Solid fuel consists of moisture, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash. The ultimate analysis of solid fuels defines the relative amounts of these constituents on a mass basis. The ultimate analysis may be given on the dry basis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Hydrocarbon solid fuel<\/strong>: Ca<\/sub>Hb<\/sub>Og<\/sub><\/strong> with a > b<\/strong> \u2013 produce more CO2<\/sub> when burned<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Examples:<\/strong> wood, coal, biomass<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

         b) Liquid Fuel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Most liquid fuels are mixtures of many different Hydrocarbons.  Commonly a liquid fuel is treated as a single hydrocarbon with a common formula Cx<\/sub>Hy<\/sub>\ufffd <\/sub>but it can be a mixture of several hydrocarbons<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2.  liquid  hydrocarbon fuels<\/strong> : Ca<\/sub>Hb<\/sub>Og<\/sub> with a < b <\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Examples<\/strong>: Gasoline, oil, diesel etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        c) Gaseous Fuel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Coal gas (a mixture of methane and Hydrogen) etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. For gaseous fuel<\/strong>:  Ca<\/sub>Hb<\/sub>Og<\/sub> with na <b<\/strong> \u2013 have the lowest C\/H ratio that results in the least greenhouse gas (CO2<\/sub>) per unit energy output<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Examples<\/strong>: LPG gas, Syngas, CNG, NG gas, Biogas<\/a> etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
