What is flame stabilizer?
The method by which a flame is saved from extinguishing.
What is the purpose of a flame arrestor?
A flame arrestor is designed to prevent flames from propagating back into a vessel or pipeline where flammable gases or vapors are present. It works by disrupting the flame's path and extinguishing it to prevent a potential explosion.
What has the author A N Weerakoon written?
A. N. Weerakoon has written: 'An investigation into extinguishing potential of water mist and the mechanisms of flame extinction'
Why does a bonfire burn more when there is a draft?
I think it is caused by the air causing the flame to keep eating at whatever is combustible. Like blowing on a wick to cause the flame to grow.
Furnace pilot light keeps going out?
There are several reasons why a pilot light could be going on. One reason is there could be a light breeze that is extinguishing the flame.
What type of change is striking a match?
Striking a match is a physical change because it can be reversed by extinguishing the flame. The chemical composition of the match does not change during this process.
Why does a candle go out when burning in a sealed jar?
A candle requires oxygen to burn, and when placed in a sealed jar, the oxygen supply is depleted, leading to the candle extinguishing. This happens because the flame consumes the available oxygen, creating a vacuum that eventually snuffs out the flame.
Why a candle gets extinguish when a glass is put over it?
When a glass is placed over a candle, the candle flame burns up the available oxygen inside the glass. As the oxygen is used up, the flame is starved of oxygen and eventually goes out. This demonstrates the concept of oxygen depletion leading to extinguishing of the flame.
What cause the luminousity of the flame?
The color of the flame depends on the temperature, fuel nature, composition of particles in the flame, oxygen concentration.
What is the function of Bunsen burner sleeve?
The function of a Bunsen burner sleeve is to control the air flow into the burner, allowing for better regulation of the flame temperature and shape. It also helps to protect the flame from drafts and reduces the risk of accidental extinguishing.
What flame is produced when charcoal is sprayed into the flame?
Sprinkling charcoal in a flame will cause the flame to change colors. This is apparent in fireworks displays, which routinely use charcoal.
Why does a lighted candle get extinguished when covered?
A lighted candle gets extinguished when covered because it is deprived of oxygen, which is necessary for combustion. The flame consumes the available oxygen in the enclosed space, and as the oxygen levels drop, the flame eventually can no longer sustain itself and goes out. Additionally, the buildup of carbon dioxide from the burning wick can also contribute to extinguishing the flame.
