	heat of combustion. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In particular, it is the amount of heat released when a given amount (usually 1 mole) of a combustible pure substance is burned to form incombustible products (e.g., water and carbon dioxide); this amount of heat is a characteristic of the substance.
		Heats of combustion are used as a basis for comparing the heating value of fuels, since the fuel that produces the greater amount of heat for a given cost is the more economic.
		Heats of combustion are also used in comparing the stabilities of chemical compounds.

	Heat of combustion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The heat of combustion is traditionally measured with a bomb calorimeter.
		The heat of combustion for fuels is expressed as the HHV (Higher Heating value) or LHV (Lower Heating Value).
		Higher Heating Value is the same as the thermodynamic heat of combustion since the enthalpy change for the reaction assumes a common temperature of the compounds before and after combustion, in which case the water produced by combustion is liquid.

	The Chemistry Of Combustion In Plain English
		The speed of combustion, which is highly dependant upon the affinity of a combustible element for oxygen, covers a range from very slow, as in the case of rust (corrosion), to almost instantaneous, as in the case of confined gun powder.
		Since the term combustion, as applied to boiler practice, is limited to the rapid chemical combination of the combustible elements of the fuel with oxygen, with a resulting production of heat, the heat of combustion of a fuel is the heat evolved in the complete oxidization of the combustible elements through their combination with oxygen.
		It follows that the heat of combination of a compound which results from the union of a single combustible element with oxygen to produce heat, is the same as the heat of combustion of that element.

		The heat of combustion was expected to increase with the degree of saturation.
		However, the average heat of combustion of the oils varies by only 2.3% which causes overlap among the individual averages as well as insignificance of the difference in the means of the oils.
		To obtain average heats of combustion which are significantly different from one another, the standard deviation of all the trials must be lower than the deviation we encountered.

	Secondary Combustion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Combustion is an exothermic reaction (that is, it produces heat).
		Flame temperature can be calculated by knowing the initial temperatures of the oxygen and fuel, the heat of combustion (thermodynamic enthalpy) of the fuel and the combustion products along with their respective specific heat values at constant pressure (Cp).
		This is not due to additional heat of combustion, but rather it is due to the additional heat input.

	Combined internal combustion and heat engine - Patent 4086771
		The gas is preferably a combustible gas whereby gas which escapes past the pistons of the heated gas cylinder and the pumping cylinder into the customary crank case of the engine may be delivered into the internal combustion cylinder for burning therein.
		Except for a minor utilization of the heat energy to preheat the fuel and the utilization of the heat to heat an associated vehicle compartment in the case of automotive vehicles, the heat energy is entirely lost.
		The simplest manner of utilizing the heat energy is to eliminate the customary liquid circulation system utilized in conjunction with internal combustion engines and to make the so-called water jacket of the engine block gas tight and to circulate through the block, as well as the customary head, the selected gas.

	Combustion
		Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat.
		The temperature of the exhaust is high because of the heat that is transferred to the exhaust during combustion.
		To summarize, for combustion to occur three things must be present: a fuel to be burned, a source of oxygen, and a source of heat.

	The Combustion Process
		The tremendous amount of heat that is produced in the burning process is the major reason that the suppression of wildfires is such a difficult task and why the use of prescribed fire is a complex and exacting process requiring knowledgeable and experienced people.

		With a continuous supply of heat (furnished by the combustion process itself), the ignition of additional fuel will continue as long as there is enough oxygen present.
