burned mass

Burned mass refers to the total amount of material that has been consumed or transformed during a process such as combustion or chemical reaction. It measures how much substance has been burned or used up, often expressed in units like grams or kilograms. This concept helps quantify the extent of a reaction, energy release, or pollution. For example, in fuel combustion, burned mass indicates how much fuel has been burned to produce energy or emissions. Understanding burned mass aids in assessing efficiency, environmental impact, and resource management.
