Combustion

Combustion deals with the chemical process of burning, which involves the reaction of fuels with an oxidizing agent to produce heat, light, and combustion products. In this lesson, we will explore the methods used to determine the amount of fuel and oxidizing agent needed for a complete combustion reaction. Specifically, we will cover the two main methods of combustion calculation: by mass (for solids and liquids) and by volume (for gaseous fuels). We will use practical examples and calculations to illustrate how these methods are used to calculate the combustion of different types of fuels.
