Common types of traditional fuels

Fuel is widely used in industrial and agricultural production and people's life. It can release energy through chemical reaction. There are many kinds of fuels, the most common ones are coal, coke, natural gas and biogas. With the development of science and technology, human beings develop and utilize fuels more rationally and pursue the concept of environmental protection as much as possible. Fuel is also a part that needs to be studied in physics, and the formula of its heat absorption and heat release is Q = Q = Q/m·m m.

Classification introduction

According to morphology

According to the form can be divided into three types:

Solid fuels (such as coal, charcoal, wood, shale)

Liquid fuel (such as gasoline, kerosene, petroleum, heavy oil)

Gaseous fuels (such as natural gas, coal gas, biogas, liquefied gas).

By type

It can be divided into three types.

Fossil fuels (such as oil, coal, oil shale, methane, oil sands, natural gas, etc. )

Biofuels (such as ethanol and biodiesel). )

Nuclear fuel (such as uranium 235, uranium 233, uranium 238, plutonium 239, thorium 232, etc. ).

Nuclear energy production materials

Refers to substances that can produce nuclear energy, such as uranium and plutonium.

Some gaseous fuels can be compressed into liquids, such as liquefied petroleum gas.
