no, a lot of heat is not fire because for an example if there was a really hot day that does not mean theres is going to be a fire or it is a fire
Contained, or wild fire there is going to be a lot of heat .
An electric fire is one possibility.
Lack of fuel, air or heat.
Rubbing two sticks together will generate heat to start a fire.
They can be the same thing. Fire Alarm Systems are electronic systems which are designed to warn and alert people in the case of a fire. These systems usually contain a central fire alarm control panel, a manual call point and smoke/heat detectors. The heat detectors and detect heat and set off the fire alarm and the smoke detectors detect the smoke from a fire to also set of the fire alarm system. The manual call points are pressed, smashed by someone in order to set off the fire alarms to warn occupants that there is a fire. Heat detectors and usually used in kitchens, bioler houses etc where a lot of smoke/stome is produced, thus stoppping false alarms. Although, you can get seperate heat detection systems which nearly do the same job as fire alarm systems, just with heat detectors.
You can remove heat from a fire by cutting off its oxygen supply, using a fire extinguisher, or dousing it with water. Removing the heat source or covering the fire with a non-flammable material can also help extinguish the fire by reducing heat.
A short circuit will draw a lot of current and produce heat so there is great danger of damage and even fire
Yes. Fire has both chemical and physical components. The fire fighter knows this, and plans attacks accordingly. The fire itself represents chemical changes, but heat rising is a physical property of matter. It's physics. A lot of the behavior of fire is physics because of the heat and the movement of air and materials around the fire. Fire represents something with strong chemistry and strong physics in play.
Fire.
Not quite. Heat is a result of combustion, but fire is actually chemical energy.
Fire, all fire, every fire consists of 3 things: Heat, Fuel & Oxygen. When all 3 are together in the right mix you have fire, if one or more elements is not sufficient then you cannot have fire. You therefore need as much heat as necessary along with the fuel & oxygen to maintain the fire. The specific answer is that the balance of the 3 must be correct. Quantifying that, however, is a different matter.
They detect heat instead of smoke. They are widely used in boiler houses, kitchens where a lot of steam and smoke is created. If a smoke detector was installed in this application, then there would be a lot of false alarms. So instead, they detect the heat intensity of a fire which will set off the fire alarm. They are also less likey to be set off by accident. Spiders, dust, deodrant etc sets off smoke detectors quite frequently. this does not happen in heat detectors.
