Abstract
The combustion process is usually an oxidation reaction involving oxygen, and the oxidant and is in many cases in the gaseous state. Thus, the burning candle and the alcohol burner are examples of solid and liquid fuels burning in the gaseous state. Coal however does not volatilize, and the combustion of many solids, including some plastics, occurs at the surface. By gaseous fuels, consideration is given to the storage state at ambient temperatures even though the fuel in usage can be in the liquid state.
