The rapid oxidation of fuel in which heat and usually flame are produced. Combustion can be divided into four phases: preignition, flaming, smoldering, and glowing. 

  Chemical oxidation accompanied by the generation of light and heat.

A chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidizing agent that produces heat (and usually, light). For example, the combustion of methane is represented as CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) = CO2(g) + 2 H2O().

early 15c., from Old French combustion (13c.), from Latin combustionem (nominative combustio) "a burning," noun of action from past participle stem of Latin comburere "to burn up, consu [..]

burning, or the process of a substance reacting with oxygen to produce heat and light.

The chemical reaction of a fuel and oxygen, usually initiated by a heat source. When the fuel is oxidized there is an evolution of heat and often light.

An exothermic reaction between a fuel and an oxidizer (usually but not necessarily oxygen) that results in a significant temperature rise and usually a visible flame or glow.

The process of burning a substance in the presence of oxygen, which produces energy; in a biological context, this could refer to the burning of fossil fuels, which produces carbon dioxide.

A chemical change, especially oxidation, accompanied by the production of heat and light.

The act or process of burning or oxidation which may be accompanied by light and heat. Oxygen itself does not burn, but it supports combustion.

The act or process of burning. A process wherein a fuel is combined with oxygen, usually at high temperature, releasing heat. A similar process where two chemicals are combined to produce heat.

(n) a process in which a substance reacts with oxygen to give heat and light(n) a state of violent disturbance and excitement(n) the act of burning something

A chemical process in which a substance (fuel) reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat.

burning of air-fuel mixture in combustion chamber.

Burning.

the rapid chemical combination of oxygen with the combustible elements of a fuel resulting in the release of heat.

A rapid chemical reaction in which oxygen combines with a fuel and releases heat and/or light.

A rapid chemical change; the process of burning.

The process by which the air/fuel mixture burns within an engine to create power.

The burning of the fuel-air mixture in an engine cylinder.

When substances combine with oxygen and release energy.

When a compound is changed into water, heat, and CO2 as a result of combining with oxygen.

burning comet

A chemical change, especially oxidation, accompanied by the production of heat and light.

The act or instance of burning some type of fuel, such as gasoline, to produce energy. Combustion is typically the process that powers automobile engines and power plant generators.

A reaction called rapid oxidation or burning produced with the right combination of a fuel, oxygen, and heat.

Burning. Many important pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulates (PM-10) are combustion products, often products of the burning of fuels such as coal, oil, gas and wood.

Burning a molecule in air.

burning or rapid oxidation accompanied by a release of energy

A chemical reaction between two or more substances that releases heat, light, and gases.

Burning, e.g. of fossil fuels

The process of burning.

The reaction of a substance with oxygen at high temperature with the production of heat.

The act or process of burning.

or Burning. A chemical reaction or complex chemical reaction, in which a substance combines with oxygen producing heat, light and flame.

The burning of a fuel, the process of which releases heat energy.
