The fire burned for fifty-three hours and was estimated to have reached a temperature of 1,000 °C (1,830 °F), mainly because of the margarine load in the trailer, equivalent to a 23,000-litre (5,100 imp gal; 6,100 US gal) oil tanker. The fire spread to other cargo vehicles nearby that also carried combustible loads.
A fire truck responding to an accident in Missouri lost control on ice, sending it violently spinning down a neighborhood street, video shows.
Emergency responders along an icy Interstate 94 in Comstock Township, Michigan, ran for their lives Thursday morning when a box truck driver lost control, skidded along the slippery highway and ...
This high flame temperature is partially due to the absence of hydrogen in the fuel (dicyanoacetylene is not a hydrocarbon) thus there is no water among the combustion products. Cyanogen, with the formula (CN) 2, produces the second-hottest-known natural flame with a temperature of over 4,525 °C (8,177 °F) when it burns in oxygen. [11] [12]
An out-of-control truck slammed into two first responder vehicles in Michigan this week, shocking dash camera video showed.. The first responders were assisting another accident on the snow ...
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 ...
The constant volume adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that results from a complete combustion process that occurs without any work, heat transfer or changes in kinetic or potential energy. Its temperature is higher than in the constant pressure process because no energy is utilized to change the volume of the system (i.e., generate ...
By 2:35 pm the truck was driving past the Los Alfaques campsite, after travelling 102 km (63 mi) from the ENPETROL refinery. [3] The time is known because the driver's watch –which was found still attached to his burnt wrist– had stopped at 2:36 pm. [ 3 ] The tightly packed campsite was crowded with nearly 1,000 visitors, many from Germany ...
