of substances with oxygen, are based on the above mentioned principles. Combustion or combination of substances with either pure oxygen or oxygen contained in the air is realised in practice with the help of different contrivances, the so-called burners."

"In order to get a high temperature and a short flame, it is necessary to have, prior to commencement of combustion, a perfect mixture of fuels with oxygen. Thus whenever we are to burn either solid, liquid or gaseous fuels, we are to mix them with air in gaseous state." 90. Prof. Dr. A.K. Shaha, Combustion Engineering & Fuel Technology, pp. 121, 122
"Tere is specific flash temperature, at which each kind of fuel ignites. In the table, the ignition of flash temperatures of various fuels are given :
