Another useful term is the heat of combustion, which is the energy mostly of the weak double bonds of molecular oxygen released due to a combustion reaction and often applied in the study of fuels.
32.
Furthermore, as the aluminum consume the oxygen, it liberates hydrogen which functions as a low molecular mass working fluid to translate the heat of combustion ( and subsequently condensation ) into expansion and thrust.
33.
Taylor reports that producer gas has a lower heat of combustion of 5.7 MJ / kg versus 55.9 MJ / kg for natural gas and 44.1 MJ / kg for gasoline.
34.
This is a bit more than the heat of combustion of gasoline, but does not consider the other materials that go into a lithium battery and that make lithium batteries many times heavier per unit of energy.
35.
Without sufficient water to absorb the heat of combustion, the firebox sheets may soften and melt, with the possible result of high-pressure steam being ejected with tremendous force through the firebox and into the locomotive's cab.
36.
The principle for the measurement of the heat release rate is based on the Huggett's [ 1 ] principle that the gross heat of combustion of any organic material is directly related to the amount of oxygen required for combustion.
37.
When working with compounds that are not as flammable ( that might nor combust all the way ) one solution would be to mix the compound with some flammable compounds with a known heat of combustion and make a pallet with the mixture.
38.
Diesel originally proposed a very high compression constant temperature cycle where the heat of compression would exceed the heat of combustion, however after several years of experiments it was realized that the constant temperature cycle would not work in a piston engine.
39.
It is important to know and understand the flammability, heat of combustion, ignitability, heat release, and smoke production of many materials in order to maintain a safe environment, all of which can be found by using a calorimeter.
40.
The gross energy ( GE ) of a food, as measured by heats of combustion of the components protein ( GE p ), fat ( GE f ) and carbohydrate ( GE cho ) ( by difference ) in the proximate system.
