Which type of engine carries its own supply of oxygen?

A rocket has it's own supply of oxygen.


How many basic steps are involved in combustion?

Combustion typically involves three basic steps: initiation, propagation, and termination. In initiation, the fuel is heated to its ignition temperature. Propagation involves the sustained burning of the fuel as it reacts with oxygen. Termination occurs when either the fuel or oxygen supply is depleted, or when the combustion process is interrupted.


Why would a candle burn longer in the open other than in a glass jar?

If the glass jar is sealed, there is a limited amount of oxygen within it. Fire uses oxygen to stay alive. Once it uses up the limited amount of oxygen in the glass jar, it can no longer sustain flame. However, in the open, there is a theoretically unlimited amount of oxygen.


Why candle burns longer in oxygen?

Candles burn longer in oxygen because oxygen efficiently supports the combustion process. The heat produced by the flame breaks down the candle wax, releasing fuel molecules which combine with oxygen to continue burning. In contrast, if the candle is in a limited oxygen environment, incomplete combustion occurs and the candle burns at a faster rate.


How much oxygen required for a flame?

A flame requires an adequate supply of oxygen to sustain combustion. The exact amount of oxygen needed varies depending on the fuel and the conditions of the combustion process. Generally, a balanced ratio of oxygen and fuel is necessary for efficient burning.

What are the methods to stop fire?

Remove the oxygen supply, smother the flames thus removing the oxygen, remove the fuel source, or wet the fuel source.

Will the Ignition module cut off fuel supply?

The ignition module could cut off the fuel supply. The oxygen censor will also cut off the power from an automobile as well.
