Living within our environmental limits is one of the central principles of sustainable development. One implication of not doing so is climate change. But the focus of sustainable development is far broader than just the environment. It's also about ensuring a strong, healthy and just society.
Fuel combustion, also known as burning fuel, is the process by which a fuel is consumed in an exothermic chemical reaction that released a great deal of heat and light.Usually, the fuel that is combusted is a hydrocarbon that reacts with the oxygen in the air.uel is burned to create an energy source. The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide. Natural gas is one of the most common fossil fuels used in fuel combustion reactions.
Burning a fuel is called combustion, a chemical process that we study in middle or high school. Because combustion is so important for rocket propulsion, we will review the fundamentals. Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat.The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. The fuel and oxidizer can be a solid, liquid, or gas.For rocket propulsion the fuel and oxidizer are usually stored as either a liquid or a solid.he original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer.
