Cooking chicken means to raise the temperature of the meat to a level that is safe to eat, 165 degrees fahrenheit. Boiling is one way to cook chicken in water, but doesn't usually give good results.
The heat of combustion can be most conveniently measured using an adiabatic bomb calorimeter. In. such calorimeter, the combustion reaction occurs in a closed container under constant volume (âbombâ). The bomb. is immersed in a weighted quantity of water and surrounded by an adiabatic shield that serves as a heat insulator.
The most important problem in the theory of combustion is the propagation of the flame (a zone of sharp temperature rise and intense reaction). A distinction is made between normal flame propagation, or deflagration, in which the main process is heat transfer, and detonation, in which a shock wave causes ignition.
