Combustion reactions are very important in our daily lives. For example, when we burn wood or coal, a combustion reaction takes place. The conditions for a combustion reaction to occur are the presence of fuel,

Oxygen is necessary for the chemical reaction to occur. Third, the fuel and oxygen must be heated to their ignition temperature. Common examples of combustion reactions include the burning of wood in a fireplace. When wood burns, it combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water vapor, ...
How can an incomplete combustion reaction occur? Write a balanced equation for the combustion of CH3C8H17(l) (methyl octane). It reacts with O2(g) to form the products CO2(g) and H2O(l). What mass of oxygen (in grams) reacts when 13.1 g of ethanol (CH3CH2OH) are combusted in ox...
The combustion reactions occur in a narrow region called thecombustion wave(the term narrow region is relative to a characteristic length dimension of the fuel body). The combustion wave may be stationary or it may propagate through the unburnt mixture. At steady state, the combustion wave veloci...
Premixed combustion consists of the chemical reactions within a flow of a premixture of reacting species. These reactions occur in a fluid in motion such as would occur in a gas turbine combustor. The chemical kinetics induce various temporal and spatial scales because of the multiple preexponentia...
Incomplete combustion will occur when there is not enough oxygen to allow the fuel to react completely to produce carbon dioxide and water. It also happens when the combustion is quenched by a heat sink, such as a solid surface or flame trap. As is the case with complete combustion, water...
Combustion - Chemical Reactions, Heat, Oxidation: Combustion, fire, and flame have been observed and speculated about from earliest times. Every civilization has had its own explanation for them. The Greeks interpreted combustion in terms of philosophica
At sufficiently small Damköhler numbers, laminar flames are thick compared with all scales of turbulence and therefore cannot exist in the turbulent flow; turbulent combustion occurs in the manner in which reactions occur in well-stirred chemical reactors in the chemical industry—the distributed-...
A resonance peak is found to occur when the acoustic time scale matches the gas diffusion time scale. For lower frequencies however (typically below a few kHz), a quasi-steady regime seems to hold out which means that assuming quasi-steady combustion (e.g., given by a D 2 model) is ...
