  2. Butane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

    The maximum adiabatic flame temperature of butane with air is 2,243 K (1,970 °C; 3,578 °F). n-Butane is the feedstock for DuPont's catalytic process for the preparation of maleic anhydride: 2 CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 CH 3 + 7 O 2 → 2 C 2 H 2 (CO) 2 O + 8 H 2 O

  3. Adiabatic flame temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature

    Ethanol burning with its spectrum depicted. In the study of combustion, the adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature reached by a flame under ideal conditions. It is an upper bound of the temperature that is reached in actual processes.

  4. Light and air unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_and_air_unit

    An air and light unit, also known as a breathing support unit or mobile air unit, is a specialized firefighting apparatus used by first responders to provide supplemental lighting and self-contained breathing apparatus cylinders and cylinder filling services at the scene of an emergency. [1]

  5. Heat of combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_of_combustion

    It is measured as a unit of energy per unit mass or volume of substance. The HHV is determined by bringing all the products of combustion back to the original pre-combustion temperature, including condensing any vapor produced. Such measurements often use a standard temperature of 25 °C (77 °F; 298 K) [citation needed].

  6. Flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame

    Flames of charcoal. A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire.It is caused by a highly exothermic chemical reaction made in a thin zone. [1] When flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density, they are then considered plasma.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoignition_temperature

    The autoignition temperature or self-ignition temperature, often called spontaneous ignition temperature or minimum ignition temperature (or shortly ignition temperature) and formerly also known as kindling point, of a substance is the lowest temperature at which it spontaneously ignites in a normal atmosphere without an external source of ignition, such as a flame or spark.
