Combustion+III

 Combustion station one Combustion is the process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light One example is, CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2 H2O + heat +light = Methane [] Second example is C3H8 + 5 O2 -> 3 H2O + CO2 + Heat + light = Propane []


 * __COMBUSTION REACTIONS (STATION 2)__**
 * Real Life Examples of Combustion ** The simplest example of a combustion reaction is the burning of wood. When wood burns oxygen must be present and heat is produced. Wood is organic and therefore produces water and carbon dioxide during a combustion reaction.

A more complex example of a combustion reaction is the propulsion of a rocket by combustion engine. Unlike the wood reaction rocket engines use combustible liquids such as methane that reacts when oxidized. The reaction creates heat and a sort of explosion occurs causing thrust. Liquid hydrogen is a common rocket fuel due to its high temperature and low exhaust gas molecular weight. The problem with combustion reactions in fueling rockets is their unpredictability.
