(A) Combustion(B) Ignition temperature
(A) Combustion(B) Ignition temperature(C) Calorific value of a fuel
- the process of burning something.
"the combustion of fossil fuels"
- Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant.
- Usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.
- The ignition temperature of a substance is the least temperature at which the substance starts combustion.
- Substances which spontaneously ignite in a normal atmosphere at naturally ambient temperatures are termed pyrophoric.
- the lowest temperature at which a combustible substance when heated takes fire in air and continues to burn. — called also autogenous ignition temperature.
- Calorific value is the amount of energy released or produced when 1 kg of fuel burns or any other substance is burnt in the presence of oxygen and the products of combustion are cooled to STP. Its SI unit is kJ/kg.
- The calorific value of a fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion – at constant pressure and under “normal”
- (standard) conditions (i.e. to 0oC and under a pressure of 1,013 mbar).
