Combustion means the burning of matter.

Combustion means the chemical process of oxidation that occurs at a fast enough rate to produce heat and usually light in the form of either a glow or flame.

Examples of Combustion in a sentence

• Spontaneous Combustion: Biofuel is made from vegetable oils and/or animal fats which can oxidize and degrade over time.

• Description of Unit A B C Pollutant Emissions Amount For Natural Gas is the applicable pollutant from SCAQMD General Instruction Book (for the latest year), Annual Emissions Reporting Program, Appendix A - Common Emission Factors For Combustion Equipment, Table 1 - Common Emission Factors For Combustion Equipment for Forms B1 and B1U.

• The Power Plant is based on Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) technology for the Boilers, where Lignite is burnt along with Lime Stone in the Combustor of the Boiler.

• The plaintiff alleges that DMAX infringes three U.S. patents related to “Internal Combustion Engine with Limited Temperature Cycle” by making and selling Duramax diesel engines.

• At above 2mol%, +/-0.05 absolute Hydrogen Sulphide (including COS) ppm vol <10 +/-0.5 Total Sulphur ppm vol <60 +/-0.8 Incomplete Combustion Factor -2.2 to 1.75 +/-0.03 Soot Index 0.49 to 0.65 +/-0.002 Inert Gases (including Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen)1 Nitrogen mol% 0.2 to 12.0 At 5mol% and below, +/-0.01 absolute.

More Definitions of Combustion

Combustion means the treatment of solid waste in a device that uses heat as the primary means to change the chemical, physical, or biological character or composition of the waste. Combustion processes include incineration, gasification, and pyrolysis.

Combustion means the process of burning.

Combustion means the thermal treatment of solid waste in a device which uses elevated temperatures as the primary means to change the chemical, physical, or biological character and composition of the waste. Examples of combustion processes include incineration, pyrolysis, and fluidized bed.

Combustion. As defined by CalRecycle, combustion is a rapid conversion of chemical energy into thermal energy. The reaction is exothermic. Organic matter is oxidized with sufficient air (or oxygen) for reactions to go to completion. The carbon and hydrogen are oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, respectively.

Combustion in distillation and conversion units is identified as the main energy consumer in refineries and, therefore, minimizing the fuel usage in their furnaces is one of the key activities to be addressed in terms of improving the energy efficiency at refineries. As an example, minimizing the fuel consumption is not only a matter of maximizing the furnace efficiency itself but also optimizing the preheat exchanger networks. All the technical typologies included in the energy efficiency projects category are devoted to reduce the energy consumption of our processes in the assets and therefore the associated GHG emissions. Description of the technical typologies:  Upgrade of equipment: Heat o Our facilities consume large amount of energy and this energy is produced in heat equipment as boilers, furnaces, etc. Their operation and improvement is a key issue in order to improve our energy performance. Examples: Implementation of oxygen control systems or heat recovery from flue gases.  Upgrade of equipment: Dynamic equipment o Fluids are moved using dynamic equipment as pumps, compressors, etc. They need a significant amount of energy to work. Examples: Implementation of variable speed motors or back pressure turbines instead of condensation turbines.  improvements of operating criteria o The way facilities are operated is key in order to reduce energy consumption.

Combustion means the rapid chemical combination of oxygen with the combustible element of a fuel resulting in the production of heat.

Combustion means the thermal treatment of solid waste in a device which uses elevated temperatures as the primary means to change the chemical, physical, or biological character and composition of the waste.
