the presence of __(PART)__
When complete combustion heat, carbon dioxide (C02), water vapor (H20), and nitrogen (N)
happens __(4 things)___ are
released
Carbon monoxide is dangerous it mixes with blood and reduces oxygen carrying capacity
because (other than senseless)
Aldehydes chemical compounds that have a strong pungent odor
, Carbon monoxide is__when present
aldehydes
are present
Aldehydes result from flame impingement and through the presence of contaminated air
Efficiency formula Heat output divided by heat input (percentage of heat transferred to room)
3 Ts of efficiency Temperature, turbulence, time
Temperature (efficiency) minimum ignition temp
fuel must collide with oxygen molecules (refers to the degree
Turbulence (efficiency)

amount of time fuel gases remain in the high temp zone. also
Time (efficiency)
known as "residence time"
refers to the percentage of heat generated by combustion
Heat Transfer Efficiency
actually transferred to room
