Name the three types of combustion and give two examples of each.
Name the three types of combustion and give two examples of each.
Types of combustion are discussed below:
1. Rapid Combustion,
2. Spontaneous Combustion,
3. Explosive Combustion.
1) Rapid Combustion:- Combustion which requires external heat energy to start.This reaction results in an enormous amount of light and heat energy.
Example:- a) Burning of petrol in a scooter.
b) Burning of LPG
2) Spontaneous Combustion:- Combustion doesn't require any external energy to start the combustion.
- This combustion starts spontaneously at room temperature itself due to self-heating.
Example:- a) Burning of Phosphorus in air.
b) Piles of oily rags and dump coal are sometimes being burned without being ignited.
3) Explosive combustion:- Combustion in which a substance burns suddenly and produces heat, light, and sound with the help of an external source of heat or pressure.
Example: a) Explosion of crackers on applying heat or pressure.
b) Dynamite explosion.
