when combustion
1Combustion — This article is about the process of burning. For combustion without external ignition, see spontaneous combustion. For the engine used in mobile propulsion, see internal combustion engine. For the visible part of a fire, see flame. Burning… …
2combustion — combustive, adj. /keuhm bus cheuhn/, n. 1. the act or process of burning. 2. Chem. a. rapid oxidation accompanied by heat and, usually, light. b. chemical combination attended by production of heat and light. c. slow oxidation not accompanied by… …
3Combustion chamber — A combustion chamber is the part of an engine in which fuel is burned. Contents 1 Internal combustion engine 1.1 Petrol or gasoline engine 1.2 Diesel engine 1.3 Gas …
4combustion chamber — The volume of the space in the cylinder above the piston with the piston at top dead center (TDC) in the compression stroke. The head of the piston, the cylinder walls, and the head form the chamber. Combustion of the fuel air mixture begins here …
5Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
6Spontaneous 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… …
7Heat of combustion — The heat of combustion (ΔHc0) is the energy released as heat when a compound undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. The chemical reaction is typically a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water… …
8Component 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 …
9Spontaneous combustion — is a type of combustion which occurs without an external ignition source. How spontaneous combustion occurs # A substance with a relatively low ignition temperature begins to release heat, which may occur in several ways, such as oxidation or… …
10Dynamic combustion chamber — The Dynamic Combustion Chamber is an engine that allows for the combustion of gases in a vacuum or under pressure, eliminating the production of air pollutants.[1] Combined with a clean renewable source of electricity, the Dynamic Combustion… …
