🤔 WHY DO WE... (क्यों?)
Why is fire hot?
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 does not always result in fire, because a flame is only visible when substances undergoing combustion vaporize, but when it does, a flame is a characteristic indicator of the reaction. While activation energy must be supplied to initiate combustion, the heat from a flame may provide enough energy to make the reaction self-sustaining. The study of combustion is known as combustion science.
⚙️ HOW IT WORKS (यह कैसे काम करता है?)
How does a refrigerator work?
A refrigerator uses a refrigerant that cycles through evaporation and condensation. The refrigerant evaporates inside the fridge, absorbing heat and cooling the interior. Then it's compressed outside, releasing the heat into the room.
