What is combustion?

Combustion is more specifically a chemical reaction in which energy is released when fuel and the oxygen in the air are mixed and exposed to heat. There are many kinds of fuels: wood, natural gas, gasoline, diesel, ethanol, and biofuels, among others. Altering the fuel, oxygen, or heat availability can control combustion
