- a process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light
- a state of violent disturbance and excitement; "combustion grew until revolt was unavoidable"
- burning: the act of burning something; "the burning of leaves was prohibited by a town ordinance"
- Combustion or burning is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species. The release of heat can result in the production of light in the form of either glowing or a flame. ...
- Combustion is the ninth album by aggrotech duo Decoded Feedback, the seventh full-length CD, and the second released on Germany's Out of Line record label.
- Combustion 2008 is the newest version of Autodesk's visual effects and compositing software tool.
- The act or process of burning; A process where two chemicals are combined to produce heat; A process wherein a fuel is combined with oxygen, usually at high temperature, releasing heat; Violent agitation, tumult
- The process by which the air/fuel mixture burns within an engine to create power.
- additional air brought into the house to allow furnaces, boilers, clothes dryers, ranges and domestic hotwater heaters to burn. If the appliance has "sealed" combustion this air will not affect the air within the house.
- When a compound combines with oxygen gas to form water, heat, and carbon dioxide
- The burning of the fuel-air mixture in an engine cylinder.
- The process of burning; the oxidation of a material by applying heat, which unites oxygen with a material or fuel.
- Chemical change as a result of the combination of the combustible constituents of the fuel with oxygen, producing heat.
- the process of converting fuel into heat, requires oxygen.
- 1. Burning, or rapid oxidation, accompanied by release of energy in the form of heat and light. A basic cause of air pollution. 2. Refers to controlled burning of waste, in which heat chemically alters organic compounds, converting into stable inorganics such as carbon dioxide and water.
- Chemical oxidation accompanied by the generation of light and heat.
- A chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen that produces heat (and usually, light).
- When substances combine with oxygen and release energy.
- A rapid conversion of chemical energy into thermal energy. The reaction is exothermic. Organic matter is oxidized with sufficient air (or oxygen) for reactions to go to completion. The carbon and hydrogen are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, respectively.
- Combustion is the combination of a substance with oxygen in the presence of a flame accompanied by the production of heat and light. Combustion requires a supply of both fuel and oxygen (air) and can take place in the open atmosphere such as an open fire, or in a closed system, such as a car engine.
- Combustion or incineration as it is commonly referred is the conversion of organic material and reduction of the volume of solid wastes by the use of an enclosed device using controlled flame combustion.
- is the conversion of a fuel by oxidization. Based in the ultimate analysis, GEMIS can compute the amount of energy (heating value) and flue gas. From that, GEMIS computes the flue-gas concentrations and emission factors for emissions - these are SO2, HCl, HF, CO2 and ash.
- Combustion reactions involve elements or compounds burning in the presence of dioxygen. The burning of the octane in gasoline is an example of combustion.
- Burning of fuels such as coal, oil, gas, and wood. Many important pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates (PM-10) are combustion products.
- An exothermic chain reaction between oxidizing and reducing agents, or between oxygen and fuel. Combustion may occur with any organic compound, or with certain combustible elements such as hydrogen, sulphur, and finely divided metals.
