FACTORS OF CHOOSING BEST FUEL
The factors that should be considered when choosing a fuel for a specific purpose are its:
Energy Value.
Ignition Temperature.
Volatility.
Flashpoint.
Ease of Liquefaction (critical temperature)
Products of Combustion.
How do I choose a good fuel?
A good fuel should satisfy the following requirements: It should have a high calorific value i.e., it should evolve a large amount of heat when it is burnt. Its moisture content should be low so that its heating value should be high. An ideal fuel should have moderate ignition temperature.
A good fuel should have the following characteristics.
It should have a high calorific value.
It should have a low ignition point, which is not lower than room temperature (so that it does not catch fire at room temperature).
It should be cheap.
It should be easily available.
It should not burn too fast or too slowly.
