Biofuels

Post by deleted-373171 »

Hi,

I am trying to find if the below information is correct for my project and makes sense. please correct me if variables listed are correct

Topic: Are Banana Briquettes an energy efficient and eco-friendly Bio-fuel?
(The degree of rise of temperature and the amount of joules of energy for every fuel with Time)

Question: When Banana Briquettes are heated, will it be more energy efficient and environmentally friendly substitute than Coal?

Independent Variables: Time of Observation (in min)
Dependent Variables : Degree of rise of Temperature and the amount of joules of energy for every fuel (coal vs banana briquettes vs coal & banana briquettes)
Constant: Enviornmental location, amount of water for heating, weight of fuel
Control group: coal

Hypothesis: If Banana Briquettes are heated and measured for a period of time, then the degree of rise of temperature and heat energy is high and hence could be an alternative energy source for coal and more ecofriendly.

I have my science fair project due in three weeks. Please correct me if the above details are wrong.

Thanks,
Lakshu
