  2. Flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame

    In the most common type of flame, hydrocarbon flames, the most important factor determining color is oxygen supply and the extent of fuel-oxygen pre-mixing, which determines the rate of combustion and thus the temperature and reaction paths, thereby producing different color hues. Different flame types of a Bunsen burner depend

  3. Adiabatic flame temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature

    Different fuels with different levels of energy and molar constituents will have different adiabatic flame temperatures. Constant pressure flame temperature of a number of fuels, with air Nitromethane versus isooctane flame temperature and pressure. We can see by the following figure why nitromethane (CH 3 NO 2) is often used as a power boost ...

  4. Fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire

    Fire creates a mosaic of different habitat patches, each at a different stage of succession. [38] Different species of plants, animals, and microbes specialize in exploiting a particular stage, and by creating these different types of patches, fire allows a greater number of species to exist within a landscape.

  5. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

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

    In other words, a combustible material ignites with some effort and a flammable material catches fire immediately on exposure to flame. The degree of flammability in air depends largely upon the volatility of the material - this is related to its composition-specific vapour pressure, which is temperature dependent.

  6. Cool flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_flame

    A typical temperature increase upon ignition of a cool flame is a few tens of degrees Celsius whereas it is on the order of 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) for a hot flame. [ 2 ] [ 13 ] Most experimental data can be explained by the model which considers cool flame just as a slow chemical reaction where the rate of heat generation is higher than the heat ...

  7. Blue lava - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_lava

    "Blue lava" is an electric-blue fire that burns when sulfur combusts, producing a neon-blue flame. Sulfur burns when it comes into contact with hot air at temperatures above 360 °C (680 °F), which produces the energetic flames. [2] Actual lava is red-orange in color, given its temperature.

  9. Fire point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_point

    The fire point, or combustion point, of a fuel is the lowest temperature at which the liquid fuel will continue to burn for at least five seconds after ignition by an open flame of standard dimension. [1] At the flash point, a lower temperature, a substance will ignite briefly, but vapour might not be produced at a rate to sustain the fire ...
