The combustion process is an exothermic chemical reaction of a chemical with oxygen. In the context of combustion cannons, this refers to the reaction of a fuel, usually a hydrocarbon (ussually propane) with atmospheric oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, water, and heat. The heat produces sufficient pressure to propel the projectile out the barrel.
