What is a Combustion Reaction a reaction when

certain substances react

react with oxygen and heat gets released

The Fire Triangle

Need 4 things to make a fire

Need oxygen Need heat A fuel And an exothermic

Activation Energy

The energy that has to happen in order for the reaction to take place

Necessity of Heat/Energy for fire heat breaks long

molecules down to turn them to shorter molecules

Pyrolysis is a reaction with oxygen

Pyrolys needs heat for the fuel to begtin to burn

Cooktop and the Fire Triangle The triangle shows that to

make a fire burn fire needs three elements:

Heat Fuel Oxidizing element Fire can be kept away or

put out by taking an element

Combustion Engine

is an engine like: automotive gasoline piston engine or a diesel

In the engine proper fuel is burned

How Combustion Engine Works

Fuel fills a chamber and then is set fire by a spark

Spark makes a small explosion that produces it to work

Nascars vs. Street Cars

The displacement is larger Their intake and exhaust are

tuned and give a boost to the car at certain engine speeds

The coolant pumps, oil pumps, steering pumps and alternators are made at continuous high speed and temperature

Nitrous Oxide Helping Engines When vaporized, nitrous

makes a cooling effect on the air took in

Reducing the air temperature increases the air's density and gives even more oxygen inside the cylinder.
