burning

Combustion or burning is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke. Combustion in a fire produces a flame, and the heat produced can make combustion self-sustaining. Combustion is often a complicated sequence of elementary radical reactions. Solid fuels, such as wood, first undergo endothermic pyrolysis to produce gaseous fuels whose combustion then supplies the heat required to produce more of them. Combustion is often hot enough that light in the form of either glowing or a flame is produced. A simple example can be seen in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen into water vapor, a reaction commonly used to fuel rocket engines. This reaction releases 242 kJ/mol of heat and reduces the enthalpy accordingly (at constant temperature and pressure):

2(g) + (g) → 2(g)

Xu Zhilei (, born February 16, 1988), known by his in-game tag BurNIng (commonly written as Burning), is a Chinese professional gamer who is currently a member of Vici Gaming. He has played both Dota and Dota 2 professionally, and he is considered one of the best carry players in the history of Dota.

Eine Verbrennung ist eine Redoxreaktion, die unter Abgabe von Energie in Form von Wärme und Licht abläuft, also exotherm.

Burning es un grupo de rock de Madrid creado en 1974 por José Casas (Pepe Risi, guitarra), Antonio Martín (Toño Martín, voz), Johnny Cifuentes (teclados) Enrique Pérez (bajo) y Ernesto Estepa (alias Tito, batería). Los dos últimos dejaron la banda a finales de los 70.

Een verbranding is een complex geheel van voornamelijk exotherme chemische reacties tussen een brandstof en een oxidator (meestal zuurstofgas) waarbij warmte en licht ontstaat onder de vorm van een vlam of een gloed. Verbranding kan zowel met vaste, vloeibare als gasvormige brandstoffen optreden.

La combustion est une réaction exothermique d'oxydoréduction. Lorsque la combustion est vive, elle se traduit par une flamme dans le cas d'une combustion ou par une explosion, si le front de flamme dépasse la vitesse du son.
