Abstract
Combustion (burning) is the sequence of exothermic chemical reactions between a hydrocarbon and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species. The release of heat can result in the production of light, usually in the form of a flame. Hydrocarbon derivatives of interest often include organic compounds (especially hydrocarbon derivatives) in the gas, liquid, or solid phase. For the most part, combustion involves a mixture of hot gases and is the result of a chemical reaction, primarily between oxygen in air and a hydrocarbon (or a hydrocarbon fuel). In addition to other products, the combustion reaction produces carbon dioxide (CO2), steam (H2O), light, and heat.
