  2. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    That is, the heat of combustion, ΔH° comb, is the heat of reaction of the following process: C c H h N n O o (std.) + (c + h ⁄ 4 - o ⁄ 2) O 2 (g) → c CO 2 (g) + h ⁄ 2 H 2 O (l) + n ⁄ 2 N 2 (g) Chlorine and sulfur are not quite standardized; they are usually assumed to convert to hydrogen chloride gas and SO 2 or SO

  3. Thermogenic plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermogenic_plant

    This is because the smaller plants do not have enough volume to create a considerable amount of heat. Large plants, on the other hand, have a lot of mass to create and retain heat. [5] Thermogenic plants are also protogynous, meaning that the female part of the plant matures before the male part of the same plant. This reduces inbreeding ...

  4. Exothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_process

    Photosynthesis, the process that allows plants to convert carbon dioxide and water to sugar and oxygen, is an endothermic process: plants absorb radiant energy from the sun and use it in an endothermic, otherwise non-spontaneous process. The chemical energy stored can be freed by the inverse (spontaneous) process: combustion of sugar, which ...

  5. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    The role of a heat exchanger is to transfer heat between two mediums, so the performance of the heat exchanger is closely related to energy or thermal efficiency. [11] A counter flow heat exchanger is the most efficient type of heat exchanger in transferring heat energy from one circuit to the other [citation needed].

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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.

    Still is part of a growing number of scientists investigating what they say is a new, woefully underestimated threat to the world’s plants: climate change-driven extreme heat.

  9. Chemical energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_energy

    (The heat change at constant pressure is equal to the enthalpy change, in this case the enthalpy of reaction, if initial and final temperatures are equal). A related term is the heat of combustion, which is the energy mostly of the weak double bonds of molecular oxygen [4] [6] released due to a combustion reaction and often applied in the study ...
