What is the need or importance of flash point? In many engineering applications, fuels are used for getting thermal energy by combustion of fuel. For example, in an oil-fired furnace, oil is ignited and heat is used for heating the metals at high temperatures to alter their properties. Fuel selection is also one of the … Read more
Our lives are fundamentally impacted by energy. Understanding the energy composition of various fuels is essential for effective energy usage, whether we’re using it for home heating or car fuel. When it comes to fuels, the terms Higher Calorific Value (HCV) and Lower Calorific Value (LCV) are crucial measures that allow us to assess and … Read more
The calorific value (CV) of a fuel is a characteristic of fuel which is defined as the energy liberated per kg of fuel burnt. Fuels are found in three-phase viz. solid, liquid, and gaseous. Junker’s calorimeter is used to measure the CV of gaseous fuels. This article helps you to know the process to determine … Read more
