Which one of the following is not a primary fuel?
Show Hint
- Petroleum
- Natural gas
- Kerosene
- Coal
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding primary and secondary fuels. - Primary fuels occur naturally (coal, natural gas, crude oil). - Kerosene is derived from crude oil, making it a secondary fuel.
Step 2: Selecting the correct option. Since kerosene is not a primary fuel, the correct answer is (C).
Top Questions on Fuels and Combustion
A gaseous fuel mixture comprising 3 moles of methane and 2 moles of ammonia is combusted in \( X \) moles of pure oxygen in stoichiometric amount. Assuming complete combustion, with only \( {CO}_2 \), \( {H}_2{O} \), and \( {N}_2 \) in the product gases, the value of \( X \) is ____________. \[ 3 \, {CH}_4 + 2 \, {NH}_3 + X \, {O}_2 \rightarrow {Products (CO}_2, \, {H}_2{O}, \, {N}_2{)} \]
