Flame (disambiguation) — Flame is burning gas or vapor, the visible part of fire.Flame may also refer to: * Flaming (internet), a message sent over the internet with the deliberate intent to insult. * Eternal flame, a constantly burning flame ** Olympic Flame, eternal… … Wikipedia
Flame — A flame is often defined as the visible (light emitting) part of a fire. Physically, it is caused by a highly exothermic reaction (for example, combustion, a self sustaining oxidation reaction) taking place in a thin zone. A flame generally emits … Wikipedia
Diffusion flame — In a diffusion flame, combustion takes place at the flame surface only, where the fuel meets oxygen in the right concentration the interior of the flame contains unburnt fuel. This is opposite to combustion in a premixed flame. The fire breather… … Wikipedia
oxidation–reduction reaction — ▪ chemical reaction Introduction also called redox reaction any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes. The term covers a large and diverse body of processes. Many oxidation– reduction… … Universalium
Oxy-fuel combustion process — Oxyfuel CCS power plant operation Oxy fuel combustion is the process of burning a fuel using pure oxygen instead of air as the primary oxidant. Since the nitrogen component of air is not heated, fuel consumption is reduced, and higher flame… … Wikipedia
Micro combustion — is the sequence of exothermic chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant accompanied by the production of heat and conversion of chemical species at micro level. The release of heat can result in the production of light in the form of either … Wikipedia
Homogeneous charge compression ignition — Thermodynamics … Wikipedia
soldering — Process that uses metal alloys with low melting points to join metallic surfaces without melting them. Tin lead solders, once widely used in the electrical and plumbing industries, are now replaced by lead free alloys. Such alloys are also used… … Universalium
Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition — Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, or HCCI, is a form of internal combustion in which well mixed fuel and oxidizer (typically air) are compressed to the point of auto ignition. As in other forms of combustion, this exothermic reaction… … Wikipedia
Fuel efficiency — is a form of thermal efficiency, meaning the efficiency of a process that converts chemical potential energy contained in a carrier fuel into kinetic energy or work. Overall fuel efficiency may vary per device, which in turn may vary per… … Wikipedia
