Study Notes
Combustion and Fuels
- The process of a material slowly combining chemically with oxygen is called oxidation.
- Combustibles in fuels are the constituents that can burn or support combustion.
- The primary material burned in a coal power plant to generate electricity is coal.
- A chemical reaction that releases heat after burning is called an exothermic reaction.
- Combustion with almost instantaneous action is called rapid combustion.
- The principal constituents of any fuel are combustibles.
- The process of a material slowly combining chemically with oxygen is called oxidation.
- The familiar application of fuels mentioned in the text is generating electricity in a coal power plant.
