The calorific values of three fuels A, B and C are 33 KJ/g, 150 KJ/g, respectively. A is solid, B is liquid and C is a gas at room temperature. On combustion, both A and B produces carbon dioxide while C explodes forming steam. B and C leave no residue after combustion while A leaves behind some solid residue. Which one of the three fuels is the most ideal? Give two reasons to support your answer.Lakhmir Singh & Manjit Kaur - Physics
Calorific value and ignition temperature of fuel X are 75 kJ/g and 200C respectively. These values for fuel Y are 50 kJ/g and 750C respectively.
