14 write three advantage which proves that gases fuels are ideal fuel.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:Liquid and gaseous fuels have higher calorific values than the solid fuels. In other words, for a given mass of the fuel, liquid and gaseous fuels produce more heat. 5. Liquid and gaseous fuels produce little or no smoke, whereas most of the solid fuels burn with smoke..

What is a fuel?
According to the law of conservation of energy, it can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another. Thus, we cannot produce energy to do certain work. Therefore, we use certain substances which help us transform one form of energy to another form.
For example, when we burn paper with a matchstick, light is produced by the flame. If we analyse this closely, light energy is not created over there, it has just been produced due to the transformation of heat energy provided by the matchstick into light energy. Thus, we always need a certain substance to convert one form of energy into another for accomplishing various jobs. We call such materials as fuels. In other words, any substance which upon combustion produces a usable amount of energy is known as fuel. Example: fossil fuels, biogas, nuclear energy, etc.
Such materials can further be classified into:
Renewable source of energy: one which is inexhaustible. Example: Solar energy.
Non-renewable source of energy: one which is exhaustible. Example: Fossil Fuels.
Now, the energy produced by burning paper is not sufficient to run cars but energy produced by burning petrol is enough to do so. Thus, we can say that each fuel releases its own set of energy i.e. all of them do not release the same amount of energy upon combustion. The energy produced by combustion of one kg of fuel is known as its calorific value.
Thus, we can differentiate different fuels on the basis of their calorific value for their efficient usage. Furthermore, each of them has a different cost with respect to another. Some are cheaper while others are expensive. Therefore, we categorize fuel as an ideal based on different criteria.
Some properties of ideal fuel are:
An ideal fuel is readily available.
An ideal fuel is cheap.
An ideal fuel burns easily in the air at a moderate rate.
It releases a large amount of energy.
It should not leave behind any undesirable substances which can be harmful to us.
It should not affect the environment adversely.
Types of Fuels:
Fuels can be generally classified into two factors:
On the basis of their fuels state:
Solid Fuels
Liquid Fuels
Gaseous Fuels
On the basis of their occurrence:
Natural Fuels
Artificial Fuels
