TY - JOUR AU - Awang, Roila AU - May, Choo Yuen PY - 2009 TI - Charcoal-Oil Mixture as an Alternative Fuel: A Preliminary Study JF - American Journal of Applied Sciences VL - 6 IS - 3 DO - 10.3844/ajassp.2009.393.395 UR - https://thescipub.com/abstract/ajassp.2009.393.395 AB - The fast depletion of fuel oil and continuous increase in the demand for power is a global issue. The world energy consumption is projected to grow at an average of 2.7-3.7% from 1996 to 2010. Therefore search for alternative fuel is highly prioritized. Thus this study presents the results on the characteristic of charcoal-oil mixture as an alternative fuel. The calorific value, ash content and stability of the mixture are determined.
