112Staged combustion cycle (rocket) — Staged combustion rocket cycle. Usually, all of the fuel and a portion of the oxidizer are fed through the pre burner (fuel rich) to power the pumps. An oxygen rich circuit is possible also, but less common because of the metallurgy required. The …
113Component parts of internal combustion engines — Internal combustion engines come in a wide variety of types, but have certain family resemblances, and thus share many common types of components. Contents 1 Combustion chambers 2 Ignition system 2.1 Spark 2.2 Compression …
114Spontaneous human combustion — (SHC) refers to the belief that the human body sometimes burns without an external source of ignition. There is much speculation and controversy regarding SHC, for it is an unproven natural phenomenon.Possible explanationsMany theories and… …
115internal-combustion engine — an engine of one or more working cylinders in which the process of combustion takes place within the cylinders. [1880 85] * * * Any engine in which a fuel air mixture is burned in the engine proper so that the hot gaseous products of combustion… …
116Fluidized bed combustion — (FBC) is a combustion technology used in power plants. Fluidized beds suspend solid fuels on upward blowing jets of air during the combustion process. The result is a turbulent mixing of gas and solids. The tumbling action, much like a bubbling… …
117Oxy-fuel combustion process — Oxyfuel CCS power plant operation Oxy fuel combustion is the process of burning a fuel using pure oxygen instead of air as the primary oxidant. Since the nitrogen component of air is not heated, fuel consumption is reduced, and higher flame… …
118Micro combustion — is the sequence of exothermic chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species at micro level. The release of heat can result in the production of light in the form of either …
119Flue gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion — refers to the combustion product gas resulting from the burning of fossil fuels [http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/index.html Compilation of Air Pollutant Emission Factors] ] . Most fossil fuels are combusted with ambient air (as differentiated… …
120internal-combustion engine — noun a heat engine in which combustion occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate furnace; heat expands a gas that either moves a piston or turns a gas turbine • Syn: ↑ICE • Hypernyms: ↑heat engine • Hyponyms: ↑diesel, ↑diesel engine, ↑ …
