Air Composition and Combustion Basics
Air Composition
Air is a mixture of various gases. Its approximate volumetric composition is 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen, and 1% argon and other trace gases. For combustion analysis, this 1% portion (mainly argon) is often treated as nitrogen because it behaves similarly as an inert gas during the process.
The Combustion Process
The basic chemical reaction for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon (HC) fuel with oxygen (O2) is:
HC + O2 → H2O + CO2
Different air-

Vector-Scalar product: The product of a scalar with a vector only changes the magnitude of the vector, but does not mess with direction: n(A) = nA
Dot product (Scalar product): This kind of product between two vectors is also called scalar product because its result is a number that means a scalar quantity. It is defined as: A. B = |A||B| cos θ
Cross product (Vector product): This kind of product between two vectors is also called scalar product because its result is a vector quantity. It is defined

Digestive System
The function of the digestive system is to transform food into simple compounds called nutrients.
Nutrition vs. Digestion
The difference between nutrition and digestion is that:
- Nutrition: Involves all the processes by which the body takes in, digests, absorbs, and uses food.
- Digestion: Is the process of breaking down food into the smallest particles that can be absorbed by the blood.

Empiricist philosophy denies the existence of innate ideas or principles of understanding. John Locke denies that there are universal truths and moral laws that apply to everyone. He believes that at birth our mind is a blank slate, empty and devoid of content, and that all knowledge is acquired through experience; ideas are rooted in it.
He states that our knowledge is limited by experience; experience is the source of our ideas and the limit of our knowledge. We must examine all ideas in detail
