  2. Combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion

    It also happens when the combustion is quenched by a heat sink, such as a solid surface or flame trap. As is the case with complete combustion, water is produced by incomplete combustion; however, carbon and carbon monoxide are produced instead of carbon dioxide. For most fuels, such as diesel oil, coal, or wood, pyrolysis occurs before ...

  3. Ash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ash

    In analytical chemistry, to analyse the mineral and metal content of chemical samples, ash is the non-gaseous, non-liquid residue after complete combustion. Ashes as the end product of incomplete combustion are mostly mineral , but usually still contain an amount of combustible organic or other oxidizable residues.

  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 ...

  5. Oxygenate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygenate

    In the liquid fuel industry, oxygenates are hydrocarbon-derived fuel additives containing at least one oxygen atom [1] to promote complete combustion. [2] Absent oxygenates, fuel combustion is usually incomplete, and the exhaust stream pollutes the air with carbon monoxide, soot particles, aromatic and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and nitrated polyaromatic hydrocarbons.

  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 ...

  8. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    By convention, the (higher) heat of combustion is defined to be the heat released for the complete combustion of a compound in its standard state to form stable products in their standard states: hydrogen is converted to water (in its liquid state), carbon is converted to carbon dioxide gas, and nitrogen is converted to nitrogen gas.
