Question

What is combustion? What are the factors on which combustion depends?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Common combustion processes produce efficiencies from 10 to 95%. Combustion efficiency calculations assume complete fuel combustion and are based on three factors: (1) the chemistry of the fuel; (2) the net temperature of the stack gases; and (3) the percentage of oxygen or CO2 by volume after combustion.

Answer 2

Combustion is a chemical process or a reaction between Fuel (Hydrocarbon) and Oxygen. When fuel and oxygen react it releases the heat and light energy. Heat and light energy then result in the flame.

The factors on which combustion depends are:-

• The chemistry of the fuel
• The net temperature of the stack gases
• The percentage of oxygen or CO2 by volume after combustion.
