2. Spontaneous combustion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_combustion

   A large compost pile can spontaneously combust if not properly managed. Spontaneous combustion or spontaneous ignition is a type of combustion which occurs by self-heating (increase in temperature due to exothermic internal reactions), followed by thermal runaway (self heating which rapidly accelerates to high temperatures) and finally, autoignition.

3. Pilot light - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_light

   In natural gas furnaces, water heaters, and room heating systems, a safety cut-off switch is normally included so that the gas supply to the pilot and heating system is shut off by an electrically operated valve if the pilot light goes out. This cut-off switch usually detects the pilot light in one of several ways:

4. 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.

5. Cool flame - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_flame

   A typical temperature increase upon ignition of a cool flame is a few tens of degrees Celsius whereas it is on the order of 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) for a hot flame. [ 2 ] [ 13 ] Most experimental data can be explained by the model which considers cool flame just as a slow chemical reaction where the rate of heat generation is higher than the heat ...
