9. Energy density refers to the amount of energy
stored in a given volume or mass of fuel.
Conventional fuels like diesel have higher
energy densities compared to alternatives,
making them efficientfor transportation.

10. The combustion characteristics of
conventional fuels, including ignition
temperature and flametemperature,
are critical for performance.
Understanding these properties
helps optimize fuel use in engines
and power plants.

13. Oil
A thick dark liquid that comes from under the ground
and is used as a fuel or to make machines work
smoothly

14. Properties of oil
14
1.they float on water but are not soluble in it;
2.they are greasy to the touch, and have lubricating properties;
3.they are not readily volatile;
4.and may be burned without leaving any residue, i.e., ash.

15. COAL
Coal is a hard , black, combustible sedimentary rock
. Coal is a fossilefuel formed from the remains of
vegetations buried under the soil for more than 300
million years

16. Properties of coal
16
1.Color:Coal can range in color from black to brown to grayish.
2.Hardness: Coal can range in hardness from very soft and crumbly, like graphite, to very
hard, like anthracite.
3.Density: Coal has a lower density than manyrocksand minerals, making it relatively
lightweight.
4.Porosity: Coal can be very porous, with small spaces between the coal particles.
5.Conchoidalfracture: Coal often fractures in a smooth, curved pattern, known as
conchoidalfracture.
6.Luster: Coal has a dull to shiny luster, depending on the type of coal.
7.Streak: Coal produces a black or dark brown streak when rubbed on a white, unglazed
porcelain plate.

20. Natural Gas
Natural gas isa fossil fuel that's made up of a
mixture of hydrocarbon and non-hydrocarbon gases
found underground.It's primarily made of methane, a
compound with one carbon atom and four hydrogen
atoms (CH4).

21. Properties of natural gas
21
1.The state of matter of this gas is gaseous.
2.It doesn't have any color and is a tasteless gas.
3.It is free of any kind of toxic, there is no smoke on burning and it has high calorific
value.
4.The gas is odorless. ...
5.It is a combustible gas and a fossil fuel.

22. Future Of Conventional Fuels
22
The future of conventional fuels involves balancing
energy needs with environmental responsibilities.
Innovations in clean technologies and carbon capture are
essential for reducing the ecological footprint of these
fuels.

23. CONCLUSION
Inconclusion,thekeypropertiesand
performancecharacteristicsof
conventional fuels are essential for
understanding their role in the energy
landscape. Ongoing research and
innovation are critical for ensuring
sustainableenergypractices.
