Does a foam extinguisher smother and cool or just smother?
It smothers AND cools because the extinguishing agent is made up of foam and water. The main reason for the foam is to keep vapors from rising from the flammable liquid and the water is naturally cool.
Is the Cooling Agent raises engine temp?
No. The purpose of the cooling agent is to maintain the engine temperature within permissible limits to ensure minimal damage to the engine and avoid overheating. The cooling system cools the engine and reduces its temperature.
Do large crystals form when magma cools quickly?
large ones
How can you tell if a intrusive rock forms?
Large crystals are diagnostic of an intrusive igneous rock, as large crystals form as the source magma cools slowly.
Is water a renewable or non renewable source?
Water is a self renewing source. Water absorbs heat and evaporates into the atmosphere, the atmosphere cools and precipitates the water out of the atmosphere.
What is determined by how magma cools and where it cools?
Its texture.
What is the birth name of Jeffery Cools?
Jeffery Cools's birth name is Jeffery Paul Cools.
What class of fire suppression should be used against oil or gas fires?
CLASS A fires occur in ordinary combustible materials such as wood, cloth and paper. The most commonly used extinguishing agent is water which cools and quenches. Fires in these materials are also extinguished by special dry chemicals for use on Class A,B & C. CLASS B fires occur in the vapor-air mixture over the surface of flammable liquids such as grease, gasoline and lubricating oils. A smothering or combustion inhibiting effect is necessary to extinguish Class B fires. Dry chemical,foam,vaporizing liquids,CO2 and H2O fog all can be used as extinguishing agents depending on the circumstances of the fire. CLASS C fires occur in the electrical equipment where non conducting extinguishing agents must be used. Dry chemical, CO2, vaporizing liquids are suitable. Because foam,H2O(except as spray), and H2O type extinguishing agents conduct electricity,their use can kill or injure the person operating the extinguisher, and severe damage to electrical equipment can result. CLASS k OCCUR IN KITCHEN CLASS D occur in combustible metals such as MG,TI,ZR(zirconium),NA.
How water is useful as fire fighting agent?
Water has several properties that make it ideal for firefighting. First, it cools the fire, which by reducing the heat, puts out the fire. Second, water at that temperature turns immediately into steam and expands. Because steam has more surface area than a stream of water, it cools the fire faster.
A crystal will be larger if it .?
cools slowly.
What will the Sun end up as when its nuclear energy source dies out forever?
At the mass of the Sun, it will become a white dwarf - and when that one cools down, eventually a black dwarf.
What part of the car cools the engine?
The radiator cools the engine.
