  2. Endothermic gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endothermic_gas

    This gas is the product of incomplete combustion in a controlled environment. An example mixture is hydrogen gas (H 2), nitrogen gas (N 2), and carbon monoxide (CO). The hydrogen and carbon monoxide are reducing agents, so they work together to shield surfaces from oxidation.

  3. Charring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charring

    Charring is a chemical process of incomplete combustion of certain solids when subjected to high heat. Heat distillation removes water vapour and volatile organic compounds from the matrix. The residual black carbon material is char, as distinguished from the lighter colored ash.

  4. Cyclopenta(cd)pyrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopenta(cd)pyrene

    Cyclopenta[cd]pyrene, also known as acepyrene, is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). It has a chemical formula of C18H10.It is a member of the group of pyrenes. It is an aromatic hydrocarbon that consists of five fused rings and is formed during the incomplete combustion of organic matter.

  5. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycyclic_aromatic...

    A Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) is a class of organic compounds that is composed of multiple aromatic rings.Most are produced by the incomplete combustion of organic matter— by engine exhaust fumes, tobacco, incinerators, in roasted meats and cereals, [1] or when biomass burns at lower temperatures as in forest fires.

  6. Combustion analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_analysis

    Combustion analysis is a method used in both organic chemistry and analytical chemistry to determine the elemental composition (more precisely empirical formula) of a pure organic compound by combusting the sample under conditions where the resulting combustion products can be quantitatively analyzed.

  7. Soot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soot

    Soot forms during incomplete combustion from precursor molecules such as acetylene. It consists of agglomerated nanoparticles with diameters between 6 and 30 nm. The soot particles can be mixed with metal oxides and with minerals and can be coated with sulfuric acid. [1] [21]

  8. Diffusion flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion_flame

    This is a rare example of a diffusion flame which does not produce much soot and does not therefore have a typical yellow flame. The common flame of a candle is a classic example of a diffusion flame. The yellow color of the flame is due to the large number of incandescent soot particles in the incomplete combustion reaction of the flame.

  9. 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.
