Liquid Fuels
Liquid fuels, predominantly derived from petroleum (e.g., gasoline, kerosene, heavy fuel oil), offer superior volumetric energy density and simplified pumping mechanisms for continuous operation. Their primary characteristics are volatility (ease of vaporization) and resistance to auto-ignition, quantified by the [Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)](/entriā¦
