Question

What are the properties of a good fuel?

• A. Moderate ignition temperature
• B. High ignition temperature
• C. High calorific value
• D. Both (a) and (c)

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both (a) and (c)

A good fuel is the one which has moderate ignition temperature and high calorific value. It should be readily available and less expensive. Ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which a combustible substance when heated catches fire in air. Calorific value is determined by the measurement of heat produced by the complete combustion of a specified quantity of it.
