  2. Combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion

    The flames caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning) Air pollution abatement equipment provides combustion control for industrial processes.. Combustion, or burning, [1] is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

  3. Adiabatic flame temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature

    The constant volume adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that results from a complete combustion process that occurs without any work, heat transfer or changes in kinetic or potential energy. Its temperature is higher than in the constant pressure process because no energy is utilized to change the volume of the system (i.e., generate ...

  4. Unburned hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unburned_hydrocarbon

    Further, some regions of the combustion chamber may have a very weak flame, that is, they have either very fuel-lean or very fuel-rich conditions and consequently they have a low combustion temperature. These regions will cause intermediate species such as formaldehyde and alkenes to be emitted. Sometimes the term "products of incomplete ...

  6. Adiabatic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_process

    If the system contains a compressible gas and is reduced in volume, the uncertainty of the position of the gas is reduced, and seemingly would reduce the entropy of the system, but the temperature of the system will rise as the process is isentropic (ΔS = 0). Should the work be added in such a way that friction or viscous forces are operating ...

  7. Otto cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_cycle

    The Otto cycle is a description of what happens to a gas as it is subjected to changes of pressure, temperature, volume, addition of heat, and removal of heat. The gas that is subjected to those changes is called the system. The system, in this case, is defined to be the fluid (gas) within the cylinder.

  8. G equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_equation

    In Combustion, G equation is a scalar (,) field equation which describes the instantaneous flame position, introduced by Forman A. Williams in 1985 [1] [2] in the study of premixed turbulent combustion. The equation is derived based on the Level-set method. The equation was first studied by George H. Markstein, in a restrictive form for the ...

  9. Exhaust gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_gas

    The largest part of most combustion gas is nitrogen (N 2), water vapor (H 2 O) (except with pure-carbon fuels), and carbon dioxide (CO 2) (except for fuels without carbon); these are not toxic or noxious (although water vapor and carbon dioxide are greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change).
