What is Combustion Reaction ?

Combustion reaction is the vigorous and exothermic reaction that takes place between certain substances, particularly organic compounds and oxygen. http://www.learnchem.net/glossary/c.shtmlhttp://www.elmhurst.edu/~chm/onlcourse/chm110/labs/world3images/lab2b.GIF

What Is A Fire Triangle ?

A fire triangle or a combustion triangle is a simple model, from the practitioners of firefighting for understanding the ingredients necessary for most fires. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_trianglehttp://www.campfiredude.com/i/fire-triangle.gif

What is Activation Energy ?

Activation energy is the energy that an atomic system must acquire before a process (such as a emission or reaction)http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=activation%20energyhttps://chemistry.twu.edu/tutorial/activation-energy.gif

Why is Heat/Energy Important In The Fire Triangle ? Heat is important because without sufficient heat a fire cannot begin. Without the three things which are heat, oxygen, and fuel the fire won't begin. https://fp.auburn.edu/fire/combustion.htmhttp://www.scsv.nevada.edu/~susanb/jblog/archives/fire.gif

How Is The Cooktop Of Your Stove An Example Of The Fire Triangle ?When you turn on the stove gasoline meets with energy to ignite and make a fire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle http://zedomax.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/penny-stove-3.jpg

What Is Combustion Engine?

The combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (generally fossil fuels) occurs with a oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion_Enginehttp://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y55/silverbeam/CSM%20Blog/EngineCutaway.jpg

How Does A Combustion Engine Work?

The combustion engine is used to power nearly all land vehicles and many water-based and air-based vehicles as well. In a combustion engine, a fuel such as gasoline fills a chamber and then is ignited by a spark plug, causing a small explosion. Which makes it work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_enginehttp://www.physics.byu.edu/faculty/rees/360/Four_stroke_cycle_compression.jpg

How are Nascar engines different from street car engines ? They are based on a 340 cubic inch V-8 engine design that was produced in the 1960s. The actual engine blocks and heads are not made from the original tooling, they are custom made race engine blocks, but they do have some things in common with the original engineshttp://auto.howstuffworks.com/question588.htm http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/03/0312_wikiguide/image/4-nascar.jpg

How Does Nitrous Oxide Help Engines Perform Better ?When you heat nitrous oxide to about 570 degrees F (~300 C), it splits into oxygen and nitrogen. So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question259.htmhttp://www.altecpetroleumgroup.com/images/glossary/nitrous%20oxide.jpg

Example Of Cheating In Nascar.

The latest NASCAR cheating scandal that shocked NASCAR was the news of Michael Waltrip cheating in NASCAR. The officials found illegal additives had been mixed in the fuel of his car and NASCAR crew chief cheating was the charge fixed on his crew chief that was fined $100,000 and removed from crew chief position.http://www.moto-crossing.net/Nascar-Information/Nascar-Cheating.html http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Politics/Images/nascar-staten-island-crash.jpg
