Combustion Reactions : 

Combustion Reactions By: Daniel Beltran Per # 9 http://pulse.pharmacy.arizona.edu/11th_grade/industrialization/chemistry/images/eqns_combustion.gif http://www.campfiredude.com/i/fire-triangle.gif http://static.howstuffwork s.com/gif/nascar-cat22.jpg

What are the different types of chemical reactions? : 

What are the different types of chemical reactions? SYNTHESIS REACTION DECOMPOSITION REACTION SINGLE REPLACEMENT REACTION DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTION http://www.schools.utah.gov/curr/science/sciber00/8th/matter/sciber/chemtype.htm http://www.wmmi.org/topics/topic_imgs/reactions.JPG

What is a combustion reaction? : 

What is a combustion reaction? When all substances in a compound are combined with oxygen, which produces carbon dioxide and water. Combustion is commonly called burning. Its an exothermic reaction; which means heat is made and is easily distinguished. http://library.thinkquest.org/2923/react.html http://www.chemistryland.com/ChemEdArticle/CombutionReaction.jpg

What is the fire triangle? : 

What is the fire triangle? Instructional aid in which the sides of a triangle are used to represent the three factors (oxygen, heat, fuel) necessary for fire to be produced. http://www.forestsandrangelands.gov/resources/glossary/f.shtml http://www.brockport.edu/ehs/Images/Fire%20Triangle.jpg

What is activation energy? : 

What is activation energy? The energy that must be defeat in order for a chemical reaction to happen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy http://www.plu.edu/~safety/img/chemicals.jpg

Why is heat/energy a necessary part of the fire triangle? : 

Why is heat/energy a necessary part of the fire triangle? Without heat, a fire cannot start, and cannot go on. Without fuel, a fire will end. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_triangle http://farm1.static.flickr.com/14/19204284_a156ecc74f.jpg

How is the cooktop of your stove (not electric) a real-life example of a fire triangle? : 

How is the cooktop of your stove (not electric) a real-life example of a fire triangle? It requires heat, fuel, and oxygen to cook food and other things. appliancist .org http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto/Articles/4906445/handwasher-main_Full.jpg

What is a combustion engine? : 

What is a combustion engine? An engine in which the combustion of a fuel (mostly fossil fuel) occur with oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine http://bkachinsky.transworld.net/files/2009/06/internal-combustion-engine1.jpeg

How does a combustion engine work? : 

How does a combustion engine work? In an internal combustion engine the increase of the high temperature and pressure gases, which are made by the combustion, applies force to a movable part of the engine, such as the pistons or turbine blades and by moving it over a distance, generate useful mechanical energy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/72/93572-034-26C16785.jpg

In terms of combustion, how are NASCAR engines different from street car engines that allow them to operate at much higher speeds? : 

In terms of combustion, how are NASCAR engines different from street car engines that allow them to operate at much higher speeds? The displacement is big -- 358 cubic inches (5.87 liters). The NASCAR engines have extremely radical cam profiles. The intake and exhaust are tuned and tested to give a boost at certain engine speeds. They have carburetors that let in huge volumes of air and fuel. They have high intensity programmable ignition systems so the spark timing can be modified to give the most potential power. All of the subsystems like coolant pumps, oil pumps, steering pumps and alternators are made to run at high speeds and temperatures. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/question588.htm http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/nascar-engine.jpg

How does nitrous oxide help engines perform better? : 

How does nitrous oxide help engines perform better? Nitrous Oxide is an accelerant. It makes horsepower through accelerating the combustion process and allows extra fuel to be efficiently burned in the cylinders during its introduction. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4897788_nitrous-oxide-work-car-engines.html http://www.altecpetroleumgroup.com/images/glossary/nitrous%20oxide.jpg

Provide 1 documented example of cheating in NASCAR in which something was done illegally to increase the combustion performance of the engine : 

Provide 1 documented example of cheating in NASCAR in which something was done illegally to increase the combustion performance of the engine To increase fuel capacity, some racers have used long tubes to connect the fuel tank to the engine. More fuel capacity means you don't have to stop to refuel as often. http://www.slate.com/id/2159854/ http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Sports/images-2/nascar-race-2.jpg
