In a plane fuel fire, the primary substance removed is oxygen. Fire requires three elements to sustain combustion: fuel, heat, and oxygen, often referred to as the fire triangle. By removing or suffocating the oxygen supply, such as through the use of fire extinguishers or foam, the fire can be extinguished. Additionally, controlling the fuel source and cooling the area can also help eliminate the fire.
A fire triangle consist of Fuel (Bushes), Heat (Fire) and Oxygen and the three combine creates a chemical chain reaction.In this case the fuel is removed so if there is nothing to burn you have no fire.
Heat is not removed when putting out a fire; instead, the removal of fuel or oxygen is what helps extinguish the flames. Methods like water, foam, or dirt can suffocate the fire by removing oxygen, while firebreaks or controlled burns can remove fuel to contain or stop the fire's spread.
Use extinguishers with a class B rating. They are intended for use on burning liquids.
Airplanes sometimes will vent their fuel if they are expecting a dangerous landing. This prevents the fuel from catching fire and burning the plane and its occupants if a crash does occur.
Fire needs three things to stay lit: fuel (such as wood or gas), heat (a heat source to ignite the fuel), and oxygen (to sustain the combustion process). If any of these elements is removed, the fire will extinguish.
Cool the burning material, Exclude oxygen, Remove the fuel, Break the chemical reaction
Cool the burning material, Exclude oxygen, Remove the fuel, Break the chemical reaction
Fire goes out when one or more elements of the fire triangle (heat, fuel, oxygen) are removed. This can happen through extinguishing methods like smothering the fire to remove oxygen, cooling the flames to reduce heat, or removing the fuel source to starve the fire.
By using a fire extinguisher, which will take away the oxygen. this means that the fire triangle will lose a side. the fire triangle consists of 3 things, heat/fuel/oxygen. when doing this you have to use the right extinguisher. for plane fires use water foam to separate the fuel from the oxygen. (water foam is like foam bubbles but a lot more sticky)
It wasnt an explosive it was just a plane that when it hit the world trade center it caught on fire and the fire toched the plane's fuel line made explode
because the shutter interferes with the filter's plane or rotation
When a part of the fire triangle—composed of heat, fuel, and oxygen—is removed, a fire can no longer sustain itself. For instance, eliminating oxygen (by smothering the fire) can extinguish it, while removing heat can prevent ignition. Without fuel, there is nothing for the fire to consume, effectively stopping its growth. Each component is essential for combustion, so removing any one of them interrupts the fire's chemical reaction.
