Burning sand typically refers to the phenomenon where sand grains, when heated intensely, can create a glassy or fused surface. This often occurs in environments like deserts where high temperatures can cause the sand to melt and solidify into glass-like structures. It can also be used metaphorically in literature or art to convey themes of transformation or destruction.
Pouring dry sand over a fire cuts off the oxygen supply to the flames, which is needed to sustain combustion. By smothering the fire with sand, it helps to extinguish it by removing the element required for burning.
A low burning candle could mean that the wick is too short or that the candle is experiencing issues with airflow. This can result in incomplete combustion and a weaker flame. Adjusting the wick length and ensuring proper ventilation can help improve candle burning.
I think sand has small particle size. This would mean that it's good at holding water because the water can fill up the gaps but I didn't think sand was very good at holding water.
Yes, petrol mixed with sand can burn, but the effectiveness of the combustion will be significantly reduced compared to burning petrol in its liquid form. The sand acts as an inert material that can absorb some of the heat and prevent the petrol from igniting fully. While the petrol can still ignite and produce some flames, the mixture will not sustain a fire as efficiently as pure petrol would.
