Question

WHAT IS CALORIFIC VALUE OF A FUEL? WHY IS HYDROGEN NOT USED AS A FUEL THOUGH IT HAS THE HIGHEST CALORIFIC VALUE?​

Answer 1

What is meant by calorific value of fuel?

Calorific value is the amount of energy released or produced when 1 kg of fuel burns or any other substance is burnt in the presence of oxygen and the products of combustion are cooled to STP. Its SI unit is kJ/kg.

What is calorific value of a fuel Why is hydrogen not used as a fuel though it has the highest calorific value?

Hydrogen needs to be compressed at higher pressures. This process is quite hectic which causes a storage problem. As hydrogen is combustible and has a storage problem, transportation is also a problem for hydrogen gas. Therefore, though hydrogen gas has the highest calorific value, it cannot be used as a fuel.
