Classification of Fuels

Fuels are classified based on occurance and physical state as follows.

CLASSIFICATION OF FUELS

Fuels are classified based on occurance and physical state as follows.

I. Classification based on occurrence

Fuels are classified into two types.

1. Primary fuels: It occurs in nature as such. eg., coal, petroleum, natural gas.

2. Secondary fuels: It is derived from primary fuels. e.g., coke, gasoline, coal gas.

II. Classification based on their physical state

Both primary and secondary fuels may be further sub-classified into three types.

1. Solid fuels, eg., coal, coke.

2. Liquid fuels eg., gasoline, diesel.

3. Gaseous fuels eg., coal gas, natural gas

Thus, the classification is summarised as follows.
