why is hydrogen not used as a domestic fuel even though it has the highest calorific value ?
Hydrogen is not used as a domestic fuel even though it has the highest calorific value due to the following points -
- It is'nt cheap and easily available
- It is not easy to store
- It is highly explosive
- It does not burn at a slow rate with controlled combustion
- It is not safe to handle
Due to these points hydrogen is not used as a domestic fuel.
