Paraffin, a flammable liquid hydrocarbon, serves as a vital fuel source and is prominently found in petroleum and natural gas. It finds extensive applications as a fuel for jet engines, rockets, diesel and tractor engines, alongside its usage as a chemical solvent and in the production of plastics. Paraffin also plays a role as a coolant for electrical systems and as a hydraulic fluid.
