How oxygen & air amounts for combustion are explained to starters?

  by  Maryam Hussain A chemical reaction, named “Combustion” has played major roles in human civilization. Since man discovered how to create fire, we have relied on combustion to perform a variety of tasks. The fire was used for heating and cooking, and later to manufacture tools and weapons. It was not until the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the nineteenth century that man started to obtain power from combustion. Rapid progress in the application of combustion systems since then, and many industries have come into existence as a direct result of this achievement. Combustion is one of the most complex subjects that involve primarily such disciplines as physics, chemistry, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics. Thanks to the branch of engineering & science, the thermodynamics, which enables us to calculate the energies of system changes in composition. Combustion has a wide variety of uses. Combustion is used for energy production in power plants, gas turbines, ...
