Document Summary

Rapid oxidation of chemicals to release energy (heat, light, noise) Difference between combustion and explosion is mostly the rate of reaction. Oxidation reactions o o o o o o o. The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new substances. Rate of reaction determines the nature of the reaction. Chemicals that supply oxygen (lost electrons) are known as oxidizing agents. Oxygen must be available in sufficient quantity to combine with the fuel. Heat must be applied to initiate the combustion and sufficient heat must be o o o generated to sustain a reaction o. Ignition temp is the minimum temperature at which fuel vapor will ignite. Minimum temperature where a substance will spontaneously ignite without an external ignition. Lowest temperature where a fuel will vaporize sufficiently to form an ignitable mixture with air. Air-fuel mixtures beyond these limits, combustion cannot be sustained.
