Which fuel has the highest density?
Liquid hydrocarbons (fuels such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene) are today the most dense way known to economically store and transport chemical energy at a large scale (1 kg of diesel fuel burns with the oxygen contained in ≈15 kg of air).
What is density in petrol pump?
As per Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specification IS 2796 : 2017, the density of the petrol should be within the range of 720–775 kg/m3. The density at the different petrol pump is different due to the following reasons: Different lot of production of petrol at petroleum refinery.
Which one is more polluting fuel?
CNG is more polluting fuel than petrol. Coke is almost pure form of carbon. Coal tar is a mixture of various substances.
What is a non polluting fuel?
CNG is a natural gas stored under high pressure. Burning of natural gas produces nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in low quantities than that produced during the burning of coal or oil. Thus, it is a non-polluting fuel.
Can be used as a non polluting fuel?
Hint: Natural or non-polluting fuels are those which do not release the polluting emissions that are harmful for our environment like Methane. These fuels are renewable and are obtained from the compost or the fossil fuels. Another example is LPG. This is low in cost.
What are some examples of alternative fuels?
Alternative fuels include gaseous fuels such as hydrogen, natural gas, and propane; alcohols such as ethanol, methanol, and butanol; vegetable and waste-derived oils; and electricity.
What are three examples of gas alternatives?
Some well-known alternative fuels include bio-diesel, bio-alcohol (methanol, ethanol, butane), refuse-derived fuel, chemically stored electricity (batteries and fuel cells), hydrogen, non-fossil methane, non-fossil natural gas, vegetable oil, propane and other biomass sources.
Will alternative energy replace fossil fuels?
The decline in international oil prices and natural gas has meant that suppliers are even better equipped to deal with the rise in popularity of alternative energy sources. Ultimately, there is no single renewable energy source that can single-handedly replace fossil fuels.
