Fuels and
their Efficiency
in Producing Energy

Introduction:
We create heat energy by burning fuels.
During the process of burning, chemical energy stored in
fuels will be released in the form of heat. Since heat
energy is what we are looking for, it is important to
learn more about the amount of heat that we can get from
different types of fuel. The amount of heat that you get
from one pound of charcoal, probably is not the same as
heat from one pound of natural gas or one pound of
gasoline. Knowing what fuel will create more energy can
help us to put value on different fuels. |

Project
description
This experiment requires multiple experiments with different
types of fuels. You need to measure the amount of heat energy
produced with each fuel, record the results and plot a chart or
graph. |
