What does the term blue fire mean?
The term blue fire means that the temperature of the the flame is high because it has more energy than other colours such as red or other shades of yellow.
What are metal fires?
Metal fires occur when unstable metals are brought to their ignition temperature and there is a source of ignition. For instance, a car fire could ignite certain metallic components used in engines or exhaust systems. Flammable metals include lithium, magnesium, and even shredded or powdered aluminum. Class D fire extinguishers contain chemicals designed to extinguish metal fires.
When brought into an oxygen rich atmosphere steel will burn at what temperature?
Ignition temperature for of steel is normally around 800degC.
How can a fire be put out?
1. Deny the source of oxygen.2. If the combustion is producting its own oxygen, cool the combusting materials until they are below the temperature of ignition.3. Burning metals require a special fire extinguisher4. Electrical fires should first have the power cut to the affected equipment.
What is the lowest temperature at which a solid or liquid produces enough gas for combustion?
It depends on what's burning.
Why petrol does not catch fire on its own temperature?
Because petrol's ignition temperature is higher than the room temperature...
Why does matchstick does not catch fire at room temperature?
Because of lower ignition temperature of the chemical applied on match stick.
What is another term for glowing temperature?
Minimum ignition temperature of a dust layer of 5 mm thickness
Why does yellow phosphorus catch fire on its own?
because its ignition temperature is very low
What is a flash point?
It is the lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid can receive an ignition source and be ignitable. However, once the ignition source is removed, the flammable nature may cease and the flame stop. At temperatures slightly higher, it is when an ignition source is introduced and the ignition source is removed that the flammable liquid continues to burn regardless of the ignition source. The lowest temperature at which a flammable liquid (e.g. gasoline) becomes capable of catching fire in the air. The correct term applied to non-liquids is the autoignition temperature or kindling point.
Why does wood not catch fire when it is heated a little?
The wood will not catch fire until it reached its combustion temperature. If at a lower temperature, the wood will simple smoulder, giving out smoke without a flame.
How does blowing air put out a fire?
Fire is some kind of fuel burning in oxygen. If you blow gently on a fire more oxygen will get to it and it will burn more fiercely. A fuel will not burn, even in a plentiful supply of oxygen, until it reaches ignition temperature. When a fire is alight, the already burning fuel heats the fuel near to it. When this nearby fuel reaches ignition temperature it too bursts into flame. If you blow air very fast at the fire, the burning fuel is blown away from the fire before it has had time to heat the fuel around it to ignition temperature.
Why doesn't water catch fire?
Because water has high ignition temperature so it doesn't catches fire whether it is on any surface or not.
Fire point of diesel?
As low as 126 degrees Fahrenheit, diesel fuel could potentially catch on fire. This is known as the temperature of ignition.
How do you make yellow fire?
Fire can be made yellow by using a fuel with a low ignition point. If the flame is kept at a relatively low temperature it will burn yellow.
What is the difference between ignition temperature and spontaneous ignition temperature in a fuel cell?
The minimum temperature the fuel ignites self sustained combustion is known as spontaneous ignition temperature. The temperature at which the substance is preheated and burns smoothly is known as ignition temperature.
What is another word for conbustion?
I think you mean COMBUSTED. It means to catch fire. Another term for this would be to ignite. You might hear the term ignition instead of to ignite.
