Fuel tends to explode or let the fire spread when it is lit.
Diesel fuel undergoes an exothermic reaction when it burns. If the reaction were endothermic it could hardly be called a fuel.
When a fuel burns, it undergoes a combustion reaction. Combustion has two main products. These products are water and carbon dioxide.
Anything which burns requires O2, so oxygen is required for fuel to burn. Also this is known as a combustion reaction and an exothermic reaction.
This is a combustion reaction, where a fuel (carbon) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.
That's the motor, which burns fuel and propels the boat.
An internal combustion engine burns fuel inside.
It burns with oxygen. That's all.
Fire does not burn, its whatever if fueling the fire that burns. For example, wood is a fuel that burns, and fire is the result. The speed at which a fuel burns, depends on the fuel. i.e. Wood burns much slower than gasoline.
When something burns, it typically reacts with oxygen in the air in a chemical process called combustion. During this reaction, the material (fuel) combines with oxygen, producing heat, light, carbon dioxide, and water as byproducts. This exothermic reaction releases energy, which is why burning produces flames and heat.
This is an oxydation reaction.
A combustion reaction is a reaction that burns. The equation that represents a combustion reaction is CH4 + 2O2 reacts to yield CO2 + 2H2O.
