Self-tutoring about common fuels: the tutor makes an initial comparison of natural gas to propane.<\/h2>\n

Natural gas is chiefly methane, CH4<\/sub>; propane is C3<\/sub>H8<\/sub>.<\/p>\n

The combustion equation for methane:<\/p>\n

CH4<\/sub> + 2O2<\/sub> → CO2<\/sub> + 2H2<\/sub>O<\/p>\n

Propane’s combustion equation, on the other hand, is<\/p>\n

C3<\/sub>H8<\/sub> + 5O2<\/sub> → 3CO2<\/sub> + 4H2<\/sub>O<\/p>\n

Therefore, methane uses 2\/5, or 40% as much oxygen as propane to combust; its heat value is about 40% of propane’s as well (38.7 vs 93.2 MJ\/m3<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
