Fuel Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries

Wikipedia English - The Free Encyclopedia
Fuel
Fuel is any material that is burnt or altered in order to obtain energy. Fuel releases its energy either through chemical means, such as combustion, or nuclear means, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. An important property of a useful fuel is that its energy can be stored to be released only when needed, and that the release is controlled in such a way that the energy can be harnessed to produce work.
