The phenomena of heat in the body is something like that produced by the combustion of fuel, such as coal, only in the body the combustion is slow and the heat far lower than that of flame.

The heat generated by combustion imparts a like action to water, through bars of brass and plates of iron, and changes its condition from water to steam, which occupies 1,700 times the space of water.

where Q is the heat of combustion. In this reaction, atoms are conserved and the equation balances for each of the species. The reaction is a stoichiometric reaction, and the coefficients multiplying ...

A fuel, oxygen and heat are needed for a fire. If one of these is removed, a fire will go out. The fire triangle summarises the three things needed for combustion - a fuel, heat and oxygen.

The Poudre Fire Authority chief warns residents that, although rare, spontaneous combustion can occur if conditions are ...

For the fusewire the heat of combustion is 2.3 cal/cm. Measure the unburned length after the bomb is opened and correct the heat of combustion for this wire contribution.
