For Combustion we have terms and definitions in 12 topics. The topics are Air Quality, Boiler, Carpet, Chemistry, Energy, Environment, Explosives, Geography, Global Warming, Import Cars, Natural Gas and Science.

Combustion (Air Quality)

Burning, that is, the production of heat and light energy through chemical change, such as the oxidation of hydrocarbon fuel

Combustion (Boiler)

The rapid chemical combination of oxygen with the combustible elements of a fuel resulting in the release of heat.

Combustion (Carpet)

Burning or rapid oxidation accompanied by a release of energyBurning or rapid oxidation accompanied by a release of energy

Combustion (Chemistry)

When substances combine with oxygen and release energy.

Combustion (Energy)

Chemical oxidation accompanied by the generation of light and heat.

Combustion (Environment)

1. Burning, or rapid oxidation, accompanied by release of energy in the form of heat and light. 2. Refers to controlled burning of waste, in which heat chemically alters organic compounds, converting into stable inorganics such as carbon dioxide and water.

Combustion (Explosives)

1)An exothermic chemical reaction which liberates heat and usually produces high temperature gases and light.
2) Any oxidation reaction, including those produced by introduction of atmospheric oxygen; many explosives are capable of burning without detonation if unconfined. Moreover, the oxidation reaction taking place in propellants without introduction of oxygen is also designated as combustion: it is preferable to denote this process as burning ( Burning Rate; Deflagration).

Combustion (Geography)

Burning, often used to describe the use of fuels

Combustion (Global Warming)

Chemical oxidation accompanied by the generation of light and heat.

Combustion (Import Cars)

The burning of the air/fuel mixture in an engine.

Combustion (Natural Gas)

Rapid chemical reaction of oxygen with fuel accompanied by the production of heat, or heat and light.

Combustion (Science)

The rapid combining of fuel with the oxygen in the air; the process by which fuel is converted to heat
