There are four fuels which all contain only carbon and hydrogen. The fuel having highest calorific value will be one which has:
A. more of carbon but less of hydrogen
B. less of carbon but more of hydrogen
C. equal proportions of carbon and hydrogen
D. less of carbon as well as less of hydrogen
Answer :
As carbon has a low calorific value so it would decrease the calorific value of the fuel if present in more amount, whereas Hydrogen has high calorific value so it would increase the calorific value of the fuel if present in excess.
