Manual M0001 rev01 03/00 Combustion is the process of oxidation of molecules of combustiblesubstances that occurs readily at high temperatures with the releaseof energy. It is accompanied by that phenomenon which is called"flame" and by the generation of "heat energy".The combination of carbon with oxygen forms carbon dioxide, a nontoxic gas. This process liberates heat and is described as follows:C + O2= CO2+ heatSimilarly, hydrogen combines with oxygen and form water vapour(steam) liberating heat. The equation is:2H2+ O2= 2H2O + heatIt is important to observe that the fuel-air ratio is specific and a matter of fact the amount of oxygen and fuel in the mixtureare in perfect or "stoichiometric" proportions when such substancesallow for complete oxidation of the fuel without any residual of excess fuel or oxygen deficiency there would be a rich mixtureand a reducing flame which is long, yellowish and smoky.
combustion at some fixed heat potential is known, that system will be able to work with no matter what commercial gaseous fuel to pro- duce the same quantity of heat in perfect combustion conditions.
