Processes in the thermal degradation of organic matter at atmospheric pressure.. Thermal decomposition, or thermolysis, is a chemical decomposition of a substance caused by heat.
Ants eating a dead snake. Decomposition begins at the moment of death, caused by two factors: autolysis, the breaking down of tissues by the body's own internal chemicals and enzymes, and putrefaction, the breakdown of tissues by bacteria.
Chemical decomposition, or chemical breakdown, is the process or effect of simplifying a single chemical entity (normal molecule, reaction intermediate, etc.) into two or more fragments. [1]
The basic idea is to try to divide a system in such a way that each block of a block diagram can be described without an "and" or "or" in the description. This exercise forces each part of the system to have a pure function. When a system is designed as pure functions, they can be reused, or replaced.
A decomposition diagram shows a complex, process, organization, data subject area, or other type of object broken down into lower level, more detailed components. For example, decomposition diagrams may represent organizational structure or functional decomposition into processes.
An Ellingham diagram is a graph showing the temperature dependence of the stability of compounds. This analysis is usually used to evaluate the ease of reduction of metal oxides and sulfides . These diagrams were first constructed by Harold Ellingham in 1944. [ 1 ]

A typical phase diagram for a single-component material, exhibiting solid, liquid and gaseous phases. The solid green line shows the usual shape of the liquid–solid phase line. The dotted green line shows the anomalous behavior of water when the pressure increases. The triple point and the critical point are shown as red dots.
