Combustion is the combination of a substance with oxygen in the presence of a flame accompanied by the production of heat and light. Combustion requires a supply of both fuel and oxygen (air) and can take place in the open atmosphere such as an open fire, or in a closed system, such as a car engine.
A chemical reaction where a substance reacts with oxygen and produces heat and light. An example is carbon reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.
The production of heat and light energy through a chemical process, usually oxidation. Products of complete combustion include water and carbon dioxide; while, incomplete combustion can yield partially oxidized organic compounds and carbon monoxide. Factors that promote complete combustion include the proper fuel-air ratio, temperature range, and adequate amount of time for the fuel and its by-products to complete the combustion reactions.

The chemical action of a substance with oxygen resulting in the evolution of heat and some light. The three requirements for combustion are sufficiently high temperatures, oxygen, and fuel.

Rapid oxidation (burning) accompanied by the release of heat.
The rapid oxidation of fuel in which heat and usually flame are produced. Combustion can be divided into four phases: preignition, flaming, smoldering, and glowing.
Rapid oxidation, such as occures in the burning of any material.
a usually rapid chemical process of burning that produces heat and usually light Testing for Water Quality
The chemical reaction of a fuel and oxygen, usually initiated by a heat source. When the fuel is oxidized there is an evolution of heat and often light.
A chemical reaction between two or more substances that releases heat, light, and gases.
Burning, fire produced by the proper combination of fuel, heat, and oxygen. In the engine, the rapid burning of the air-fuel mixture that occurs in the combustion chamber.
Burning. The transformation of biomass fuel into heat, chemicals, and gases through chemical combination of hydrogen and carbon in the fuel with oxygen in the air.
the process of converting fuel into heat, requires oxygen.
A chemical reaction in which a material combines with oxygen with the evolution of heat: "burning". The combustion of fuels containing carbon and hydrogen is said to be complete when these two elements are all oxidised to carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion may lead to (1) appreciable amounts of carbon remaining in the ash; (2) emission of some of the carbon as carbon monoxide; and (3) reaction of the fuel molecules to give a range of products of greater complexity than that of the fuel molecules themselves (if these products escape combustion they are emitted as smoke).
A reaction called rapid oxidation or burning produced with the right combination of a fuel, oxygen, and heat.
burning or the production of heat and light energy through a chemical process.
is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidising agent that produces heat and usually light.
the more rapid process of oxidation that occurs when organic matter ignites and burns, producing light and heat; it is the same chemical reaction that occurs during decomposition and respiration, 6 O 12 ------ 6 H O + 6 CO
1. Burning, or rapid oxidation, accompanied by release of energy in the form of heat and light. 2. Refers to controlled burning of waste, in which heat chemically alters organic compounds, converting into stable inorganics such as carbon dioxide and water.
(1) an act or instance of burning (2) a usually rapid chemical process (as oxidation) that produces heat and usually light; also : a slower oxidation (as in the body) (3) violent agitation : TUMULT (Merriam-Webster's Unabridged at www.m-w.com, accessed 3/13/03)
Burning of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber that generates the energy necessary to run your engine. The mini-explosion in a combustion engine is triggered by a spark from the spark plugs that's added to the compressed air/fuel mixture at the top of the piston cycle. Timing and a proper air/fuel ratio are critical to the power gained during combustion.
a chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen which produces heat.
burn; the controlled burning of municipal solid waste to reduce volume and, commonly, to recover energy.
Combustion reactions involve elements or compounds burning in the presence of dioxygen. The burning of the octane in gasoline is an example of combustion.
Oxidation of a substance by burning.
Combustion is also called burning. This is the combining of a substance with oxygen.
combustion reaction. A chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces heat (and usually, light). For example, the combustion of methane is represented as CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) = CO2(g) + 2 H2O().
The rapid oxidation of fuel gases accompanied by flame and the production of heat, or heat and light.

Burning, or rapid oxidation, accompanied by a release of energy in the form of heat and light. A basic cause of air pollution.
The burning of the fuel-air mixture in an engine cylinder.
the burning of gas, liquid, or solid, in which the fuel is oxidized, producing heat and often light.
This is the reaction of a chemical substance with oxygen to produce heat and light. In a fuel cell, the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen will usually take place at a lower temperature.

The processes of burning fuel in an engine
Combustion is the burning of a material, i.e., a chemical change accompanied by the production of heat and light.

A chemical process of oxidation that occurs at a rate fast enough to produce heat and usually light either as glow or flames. A chemical reaction, caused by oxidation that produces light and heat. The production of light in the combustion process is the difference between oxidation and combustion: Oxidation, regardless of slowness, will give off heat but no light will be produced.
