combustion and burners of industry
Energy produced by combustion process
Today, with the rapid increase in energy consumption, most energy is generated by burning fossil fuels. As the population increases, the demand for energy is huge.
A burner is a device that produces heat energy after burning fuel, which is used to generate electricity. It is specifically designed to promote the combustion of fuel in the air.
Various fuels natural gas, propane, oil or biomass are burned during combustion in the burner. Combustion occurs when a fuel combines with an oxidizer (usually oxygen in the air) and ignites, releasing energy in the form of heat, light, and sometimes flame
More than 60% of energy is produced through the combustion of fossil fuels such as natural gas, oil and coal.
Fossil fuels-65%
Petroleum fuel – 3%
Coal fuel – 38%
Natural gas – 23%.
Global emissions are mainly due to the burning of coal, oil and natural gas in fuel combustion
Engineers understand combustion process before using industrial burners
The combustion process usually involves three basic elements: oxygen fuel and heat energy.
It is also known as the "combustion triangle": fuel, oxygen, and ignition source.
Fuel is the substance that is burned, oxygen provides the necessary oxidant for the chemical reaction, and an ignition source (such as a spark plug, lighter, or igniter) initiates the combustion process.
