We're in a science-y topic. I can't be asked to superimpose my understanding for yours. Convection is heat transfer, and we're talking about combustion.
You can't even be consistent about what it is that you think you want a scientific paper on. But the last time you asked, I provided a link to the long list of papers by Einstein that comprise his theories of general and special relativity. But since you're back on adsorption, I want to know how you made the mental leap from a topic discussing HOW to separate gases from each other constitutes any kind of proof that oxygen burns. I don't need to provide a scientific paper refuting anything, because you haven't made a case that there's anything to refute. You're literally saying "here's how to separate nitrogen from oxygen, now prove to me that oxygen doesn't burn." Non sequitur. To the max. Methane and superheated water (Brown's gas) are flammable, they just don't burn absent an oxidizer and heat
Sorry i'm not a JPL Jet Engine Designer, nor do i have a billion dollars and 30 years to test everything just to prove things to you. Whether Oxygen can can burn - (you insist that is what i'm talking about when I'm not because it's an irrelevant issue), I did present evidence air can be used "like" a fuel source - in that it can explode, air can be separated and compressed leaving elements that are combustible or the oxygen can be used in a magnetic levitation kinda way. Thats three very plausible examples that are much more reasonable than Jumbo Jets carrying around 30 tanks fill of Jet Fuel sloshing around for these long distance flights. Do you know how much that fuel would weigh? We simply can't make airplane fuel tanks bigger, Thats why the Spruce Goose built in the 30s couldn't get higher than 100 feet off the ground, it was too heavy, so despite your ""usual" wicca-pedi knowledge, science has known about this issue for 90 years, and thats how far you are in dragging behind.

Because oxygen is not fuel.
awww so cute child, now feel free to grab a sucker, I keep them in a jar in the corner of my Jet hanger.
