2. Propane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

   Propane is commonly used in theme parks and in movie production as an inexpensive, high-energy fuel for explosions and other special effects. Propane is used as a propellant, relying on the expansion of the gas to fire the projectile. It does not ignite the gas. The use of a liquefied gas gives more shots per cylinder, compared to a compressed gas.

3. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

   A non-combustible material [17] is a substance that does not ignite, burn, support combustion, or release flammable vapors when subject to fire or heat, in the form in which it is used and under conditions anticipated. Any solid substance complying with either of two sets of passing criteria listed in Section 8 of ASTM E 136 when the substance ...

4. Adiabatic flame temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature

   Propane Iso-Octane (2,2,4-Trimethylpentane) In daily life, the vast majority of flames one encounters are those caused by rapid oxidation of hydrocarbons in materials such as wood, wax, fat, plastics, propane, and gasoline. The constant-pressure adiabatic flame temperature of such substances in air is in a relatively narrow range around 1,950 ...

   The Minnesota Department of Public Safety State Fire Marshal (SFM) determined that the 100-pound propane cylinder, which was believed to be empty, contained enough leftover gas to fill the storage ...

6. Limiting oxygen concentration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_oxygen_concentration

   The limiting oxygen concentration (LOC), [1] also known as the minimum oxygen concentration (MOC), [2] is defined as the limiting concentration of oxygen below which combustion is not possible, independent of the concentration of fuel. It is expressed in units of volume percent of oxygen.

7. Gas burner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_burner

   A gas burner is a device that produces a non-controlled flame by mixing a fuel gas such as acetylene, natural gas, or propane with an oxidizer such as the ambient air or supplied oxygen, and allowing for ignition and combustion. The flame is generally used for the heat, infrared radiation, or visible light it produces.
