Combustions
Basics of combustion
A combustion is possible only if three conditions are checked:
- A compound able to burn: a combustible ( like carbon, butane, paper, gasoline, etc.)
- A compound able to make burn: an oxidizer (like oxygen)
- A heat source which initiates combustion (flame, spark) and maintains it.
If one of these element is missing ( or if they are separated ) a combustion can't initiate
