combustion is purely a chemical reaction, need not to be natural while explosion is naturally chemical energy.

explosion requires expansion of volume while this is not necessary in case of combustion.

What is the difference between spontaneous combustion and rapid combustion?

Spontaneous combustion is a self-ignition process where a substance ignites without an external heat source due to internal chemical reactions, such as with oily rags. Rapid combustion, on the other hand, refers to the fast and intense burning of a substance with the presence of an external heat source, like in a fire or explosion.


What is the difference between the heat of reaction and the heat of combustion?

The heat of reaction is the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction, while the heat of combustion specifically refers to the heat released during the combustion of a substance with oxygen.


What is the difference between Incineration and Combustion?

Combustion is a chemical reaction between oxygen and other substances that creates heat and sometimes light. Incineration is the process of burning something completely and usually involves combustion.


What has to happen for a gas or vapor to be flammable or an explosion hazard?

For a gas or vapor to be flammable or an explosion hazard it must have a concentration in air between the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL) for that particular gas or vapor.


Does combustion mean the same thing as explode?

No, combustion is a chemical reaction that produces heat and light, such as when a fuel burns. An explosion, on the other hand, typically involves a more rapid and violent release of energy, often causing damage or destruction.

What is the difference between combustion and detonation as in a internal combustion?

When the engine detonates its referring to the engine giving spark to the compressed air/fuel in the cylinder, when theres combustion its simply the explosion that happens after ignition.


Can rapid combustion be defined as explosion?
