Combustion in which the fuel is only partially burned, and is capable of being burned further under proper conditions. It results from an inadequate amount of air for the quantity of fuel provided. It can also occur, even in excess air conditions, if mixing is poor and /or the flame is chilled below the ignition temperature before the full combustion reaction can take place. An example is the burning of carbon, producing carbon monoxide (CO); with more air, carbon dioxide (CO2) would result. 1, record 1, English, - incomplete%20combustion
