Study Notes
- Combustion is a common process in everyday life.
- Competencies developed allow production of heat and light safely and enable protection from accidents caused by burning materials.
Concept of combustion
- Combustion is a process where a flammable substance reacts rapidly with oxygen, releasing energy as heat and light, often with a flame.
- Flames are visible and hot during burning.
- For instance, burning firewood combines it with oxygen, releasing heat and light, as well as producing carbon dioxide and water vapor.
- Combustion is integral to activities like cooking, melting metal, and waste incineration.
Necessary conditions for combustion
- Three components are needed for combustion: heat, oxygen gas, and fuel.
- Heat raises the fuel's temperature; sufficient heat must ignite the fuel, which can come from a spark, flame, or another heat source.
- Oxygen, a gas present in the air, is required; combustion cannot occur without it.
- Fuel can be solid, liquid, or gas, e.g., wood, charcoal, gas, or oil.
- The relationship between oxygen, heat, and fuel is known as the fire triangle.
Types of Combustion
- There are various types of combustion, including complete and incomplete combustion.
- Complete combustion occurs when fuel burns with sufficient oxygen and is fully consumed, producing a bright flame.
- Incomplete combustion occurs when there's an insufficient oxygen supply, leading to incomplete burning and more smoke and soot.
- The experiment demonstrated that oxygen is essential for combustion.
Effects of combustion
- The effects of the combustion process can be good or bad.
- Combustion produces energy for cooking, heating, and powering machines
- It is used in industries for smelting iron, producing steel bars and plastics, and smelting gold.
- The heat generated dries and preserves foods and crops and helps keep us warm during cold weather.
- Fire can cause significant environmental damage by destroying vegetation and animal habitats.
- Forest burning can lead to soil erosion and loss of soil fertility.
- Fire can destroy buildings, causing substantial property loss.
- Burning substances like charcoal and petrol can increase harmful gases in the environment.
Protection against burning
- It's important to seek medical help if severe burns or injuries occur.
- Proper strategies to protect yourself and others from accidents caused by burning include keeping flammable materials properly, using proper tools such as tongs or long-handled utensils, and wearing protective gear, such as heat-resistant gloves and aprons.
- Flammable items should be kept away from heat sources to prevent ignition.
Monitoring the burning
- Burning waste should be constantly monitored, never left unattended, and completely extinguished before leaving the area.
- Never leave open flames unattended, such as candles, fireplaces, and outdoor grills.
- Fuel is a substance that can burn to produce heat and light.
- Transparent - a state that allows light to pass through.
