Other related topics

• Air [r]: A colorless, odorless and tasteless mixture of gases consisting mostly of nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂) which is the part of Earth's atmosphere that humans and all other animals breathe in order to obtain the oxygen needed to sustain life. ^[e]
• Air-fuel ratio [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Deflagration [r]: Rapid, but not explosive (i.e., subsonic) self-sustaining combustion in explosive materials, especially low explosives such as black gunpowder and desensitized smokeless powder; the combustion wave propagates by thermal conduction; can produce explosion if confined but is more likely to produce controllable gases ^[e]
• Fire [r]: The rapid oxidation of a combustible material releasing heat, light, and various reaction products such as carbon dioxide and water. ^[e]
• Flue gas [r]: The gas that exits to the atmosphere via a flue which may be a pipe, channel or chimney for conveying combustion product gases from a fireplace, oven, furnace, boiler or steam generator. ^[e]
• Flue gas desulfurization [r]: The technology for removing sulfur dioxide from the flue gases resulting from the combustion of coal or fuel oil in power plant steam generators or other large combustion sources. ^[e]
• Flue gas emissions from fossil fuel combustion [r]: Discussion and listing of the comparative amounts of flue gas (exhaust gas) generated by the combustion of coal, fuel oil and natural gas. ^[e]
• Flue gas stack [r]: A vertical pipe, channel or chimney (also referred to as a smokestack) through which combustion product gases (flue gases) are exhausted to the atmosphere. Includes the draft (draught) effect of hot gases flowing through tall stacks (chimneys). ^[e]
• Gas turbine [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Heat of combustion [r]: The energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen. ^[e]
• Industrial furnaces [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Internal combustion engine [r]: A device for generating mechanical energy from the combustion of a fuel and external oxygen ^[e]

• Pyrolysis [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Pyrophoric [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Rocket engine [r]: A means of generating thrust, for propulsion or for adjusting a position, based on the hot gases expelled by a mixture of chemicals that does not need an external oxygen source ^[e]
• Staged combustion cycle (rocket) [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Stoichiometry [r]: Add brief definition or description
