Abstract
THE subject of fuel grows in political, economic, technical and scientific importance. Though wood is no longer in the picture in competition with coal, oil is very much so. Raw coal is being displaced by coke, by low-temperature fuel and particularly by gas—either coal gas, or coke oven, producer, blast furnace, or water gas—and indeed should never be burnt as such. Liquid fuels are extending in every field of use; they include fuel oil, Diesel oil, petrol, tar, benzol and alcohol.
