combustion is the complete oxidation of organic compound into carbon dioxide and water molecules in presence of oxygen gas while oxidation is the addition of oxygen in a compound or with an element the loss of electron from an atom or ion is also oxidation but it is not the combustion.

  • all oxidizing reactions are not combustion reaction.....but all combustion reactions are oxidizing..
  • oxidation reaction does not involve heat.....combustion reactions involve heat....

What gas from the air is needed for combustion?

the three essentials for combustion are :- (i) combustible substance (ii) oxygen (iii) ignition temperature


What are the four stages of the burning process?

The four stages of the burning process are ignition, combustion, flame propagation, and extinguishment. During ignition, the fuel is heated to its ignition temperature, leading to the start of combustion. Combustion is the chemical reaction between the fuel and oxygen, producing heat, light, and other products. Flame propagation is the spreading of the flames through the available fuel, while extinguishment occurs when the fire is deprived of fuel, oxygen, or heat.


What is the difference between a closed combustion furnace and open combustion furnace?

A closed combustion furnace has a sealed combustion chamber, drawing outside air for combustion and expelling combustion gases outside through a dedicated vent, resulting in higher energy efficiency and indoor air quality. An open combustion furnace draws air from inside the home for combustion and expels gases through a chimney, potentially leading to energy loss and indoor air quality issues.


Is the combustion of gas spontaneous?

The combustion of gas is a spontaneous process because it occurs naturally without needing an external force to initiate it. Once oxygen is present and the temperature reaches the ignition point, the combustion reaction will start on its own.


What is a rapid reaction between oxygen and fuel called?

A rapid reaction between oxygen and a fuel is called combustion.

What is the difference between a Gas turbine engine ignition system and a piston engine ignition system?

Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.


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.


What is the difference between detonation and knocking in ic engine?

Detonation involves a supersonic exothermic. Knocking in a engine is spark-ignition internal combustion.


What is the difference between ignition temperature and spontaneous ignition temperature in a fuel cell?

The minimum temperature the fuel ignites self sustained combustion is known as spontaneous ignition temperature. The temperature at which the substance is preheated and burns smoothly is known as ignition temperature.


What is the difference between the flash point and ignition point of a substance?

The flash point of a substance is the temperature at which it produces enough vapor to ignite briefly when exposed to a flame. The ignition point is the temperature at which the substance will sustain combustion without the need for an external ignition source.


What is the difference between sulphated ash and residue on ignition?

The only difference between sulphated ash and the residue on ignition is the terminology. The residue on an ignition is sulphated ash.


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.


How Combustion lag and ignition timing are connected?

Combustion lag refers to the time between spark(ignition) and the highest combustion pressure in an engine. Ignition timing refers to how many degrees before top dead center(top dead center compression in 4 strokes) the crankshaft rotation is during ignition. These two are connected by timing your ignition on point with combustion lag characteristics to tune ignition timing and gain max volumetric efficiency out of an engine. Timing advances (ignites farther from tdc) as rpm's increase.
