What are the three elements that make up fire?
fuel,oxygen,heat
What is the major factor that determines a fire's intensity?
Availability of fuel. This could include solid fuels like wood, gasoline, oil, etc., or the other essential ingredient to all fires, which is oxygen. No fuel, no fire.
Is there a gas other than oxygen that can fuel fire?
Oxygen is not a fuel for fire; it is the oxidizer. You can substitute a different gas for oxygen such as chlorine, fluorine, or dioxygen difluoride. You can also use solid oxidizers such as potassium nitrate or ammonium perchlorate.
What are the constituents of fire?
The three contituents of fire include oxidizing agent, heat and fuel. The oxidizing agent is usually oxygen in most cases. A fire occurs when the three elements are present in the right proportion.
What are three types of rockets that power modern spacecraft?
The answer, is that there are only two types of rockets which fuel modern spacecraft. they are solid fuel rockets, and liquid fuel rockets
What are the ways of extinguishing fire caused by the following solid fuel?
No
What is starvation in relation to extinguishing fire?
removing the fuel or source of ignition.
Where should you aim a fire extinguisher stream extinguishing a fire?
The fire extinguisher contents are designed to interact with the fuel/air boundary, so you need to aim at where the fuel is burning, that is, "at the base of the flames."
What is the essential conditions required for extinguishing fire?
Remove one or more of the following. Heat, oxygen or fuel.
The fuel needed for a fire to start comes in three forms name them?
Solid, liquid and gas
What does water take out of a forest fire?
It lowers temperature below the kindling point of the fuel. Steam can also reduce oxygen available to the fire, but cooling is the main extinguishing feature.
What temp can a solid fuel fire reach?
Depends of the materials
When should you not use a fire extinguisher and why?
When a fire has flames higher than your waist, or has dangerous fuel available to burn, or is more fire than your extinguisher is rated for, you need a trained firefighter with proper safety equipment and extinguishing agents.
What is the hardest fire to put out?
Fire requires three things: heat, fuel, and oxygen. Taking away any one of the three results in extinguishing the fire. Probably the fastest way would be to remove the oxygen. Halon and other similar systems work by instantaneously displacing normal air with a gas that does not support combustion.
What are the three points of a fire triangle?
The three elements of the fire triangle that must be present are Heat, Oxygen, and Fuel. This has recently been changed though from the fire triangle to the fire tetrahedron. This includes Heat, Oxygen, and Fuel as well. But, it also contains a fourth, chemical reaction.
What three things do you need to make a fire?
Fuel, oxygen and heat or an ignition source are the components needed for a fire.
How does putting a fire blanket over a pan of oil put it out?
You need three things for something to burn, a fuel (the oil), an ignition source (the burning oil), and oxygen (air). When you put the blanket over the pan, you eliminate the air from the equation, thus extinguishing the flames.
