Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer, resulting in the release of energy in the form of heat, light, and sound
this is one of the complex physical and chemical processes that occur in various forms in our daily lives
More than 70% of energy is produced due to combustion in domestic cooking, engines of vehicles and aircraft to boilers and power plants that generate electricity
Combustion can also be found in small-scale processes such as the burning of candles, campfires, and gas stoves.
To generate combustion, gas, liquid, and solid fuel are burnt to generate heat energy
In a controlled and efficient combustion process, the fuel and oxidizer are mixed in a specific ratio to produce the desired amount of heat energy
However, when the combustion process is not properly controlled, it can result in the release of harmful pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
Therefore, the study of combustion and its processes plays a crucial role in various industries, such as energy production, transportation, and manufacturing.
