Question

What are the examples of types of combustion

Answer 1

Complete Combustion- Also called "clean combustion", clean combustion is oxidation of a hydrocarbon the produces only carbon dioxide and water. An example of clean combustion is burning of candle wax, where the heat from the wick vaporizes wax (a hydrocarbon), which reacts with oxygen in air to release carbon dioxide and water. Ideally, all the wax burns so nothing remains once the candle is consumed. The water vapor and carbon dioxide dissipate into air.Incomplete Combustion- Also called "dirty combustion", incomplete combustion is hydrocarbon oxidation that produces carbon monoxide and/orcarbon (soot) in addition to carbondioxide. An example of incomplete combustion would be burning coal, where a lot of soot and carbon monoxide is released. Many of the fossil fuels burning incompletely, releasing waste products.
