In physics and thermodynamics, heat is any transfer of energy from one body or thermodynamic system to another due to a difference in temperature.... ing of solid
Solid
A solid object is in the states of matter characterized by resistance to deformation and changes of volume. In other words, it has high values both of Young's modulus and of shear modulus; this contrasts e.g.... materials to produce liquid
Liquid
Liquid is one of the principal states of matter. A liquid is a fluid that has the particles loose and can freely form a distinct surface at the boundaries of its bulk material.... or gaseous products (which may condense into solids). The method may or may not involve pyrolysis/thermolysis. The products are condensed
Condensation
Condensation is the change of the physical state of aggregation of matter from gaseous phase into liquid phase. When the transition happens from the gaseous phase into the solid phase directly, bypassing the liquid phase the change is called Deposition , which is the opposite of sublimation.... and collected. This method usually requires higher temperatures than classical distillation
Distillation
Distillation is a method of separation process mixtures based on differences in their Volatility in a boiling liquid mixture. Distillation is a unit operation, or a physical separation process, and not a chemical reaction.... . The method has been used to obtain liquid fuel

Fuel is any material that is burned or altered in order to obtain energy and to heat or to move an object. Fuel releases its energy either through a chemical reaction means, such as combustion, or nuclear means, such as nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.... s from coal
Coal
Coal is a readily combustion black or brownish-black sedimentary rock. The harder forms, such as anthracite, can be regarded as metamorphic rock because of later exposure to elevated temperature and pressure.... and wood
