Fuel efficiency is the amount of heat energy that is produced when 1 kg of that fuel is burnt completely. The more heat energy produced the more is the efficiency of that particular fuel. It is often referred to as as the calorific value of that fuel.
Long Answer Questions :
Question no – (31)
Answer :
Out of the three watch glasses the glass containing petrol will catch fire instantly. Petrol have very low ignition temperature that is it is an inflammable substances due to this property it catches fire far more easily. On the other hand milk and mustard oil have high ignition point so they don’t catch with that much ease.
Question no – (32)
Answer :
No, Manu’s actions were not suitable for the moment. Oils are lighter than water so when someone tries to extinguish flames on oil with water, the flame will get more aggressive as the flame will now float on the water. She should have tried to keep a lid on her pan which will prevent the oxygen from coming in contact with the flame, this action would have extinguished the flame.
Question no – (33)
Answer :
The three essential requirements to produce fire are :
• Fuel – The substance that undergoes combustion is said to be a fuel.
• Oxygen – Oxygen supports combustion of a fuel.
• Heat – Heat is necessary to increase the temperature of the fuel to its ignition temperature.
A fire extinguisher is often used in places where an electrical appliances or an inflammable substances is burning. It prevents short circuit in electrical appliances and does not have hampers the functioning of the appliances. It acts as a blanket preventing oxygen to come in contact with the fuels, so it is great for extinguishing fires on fuels like oils.
Question no – (34)
Answer :
The two examples each for a solid, liquid and gaseous fuel are :
• Solid fuels : Coals and wood . Wood are generally used in rural areas to cook food or for warming their body in cold climate. Coal are generally used for electricity production and in industrial processes.
• Liquid : Diesel and Petrol. Both of these fuels are generally used to power vehicles engine.
• Gaseous fuels : CNG and LPG. LPG are used to fill household cylinder that are used to cook food whereas CNG are used to vehicles such as buses and car.
Question no – (35)
Answer :
I would choose the car which will run on CNG because CNG is nearly close to Petrol in terms of calorific value or efficiency but it exceeds in reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere or in simpler words it is more environmental friendly.
Question no – (36)
Answer :
Wood has a very high calorific value and it is great furl. But we should try to limit the use of wood as a fuel because it combustion produces a lot of smoke in the environment which are responsible for air pollution and moreover the cutting of wood for fuel will to be too devastating for nature to maintain balance in earth.
Question no – (37)
Answer :
Forest fires often takes place due to the spontaneous combustion of forest by the heat of the sun or by lightning. But most of the time it happens due to the recklessness of human who leave campfires unextinguished in the forest.
