- It does not surprise me that fire is not a state of matter because, fire couldn't be a gas because the fires smoke is a gas, not the fire. But fire is so cool because its a growing ''living'' substance.

Fire Extinguisher : 101 Fires are designated based on the condition of the burn, as well as the fuel. While common class A types feed on ordinary combustibles, class B fires burn combustible gas or liquids. This type of fire requires a slightly different approach than the class A fire in order to control and combat its dangerous spread.

Can Nitrogen be used as fire extinguisher? Yes, portable dry chemical fire extinguishers are pressurized by means of nitrogen (expellant gas used to discharge the extinguishing agent from its container). Carbon dioxide … can also be used as expellant gas.

GASIFICATION / SYNGAS In THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA GASIFICATION / SYNGAS In THE GREATER HOUSTON AREA. Gasification is the process of converting fossil fuels into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. This is achieved by controlling the oxygen and steam inputs in a high temperature (>1300 F) environment without combustion to produce a mixture called syngas.

Fire triangle The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). A fire naturally occurs when the elements are present and combined in the right mixture, meaning that fire is actually an event rather than a thing.

- Yes, steam is an example of gas because, in simple terms water boiling then gaining enough heat to evaporate makes steam. Since anything going from a liquid to the next is a g … as, this makes steam a gas because it evaporates.

- The CO2 in fire extinguishers is a non flammable gas contained under dense pressure that displaces the oxygen in a fire. The carbon dioxide is compressed so thoroughly pieces of dry ice project from the horn of the extinguisher and cool the fire upon contact.

Fire At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma.

Gas burner Flame of a gas and oil, in a dual burner. A gas burner is a device which is used to generate a flame, in order to heat up products using a gaseous fuel such as acetylene, natural gas, or propane. Some burners have an air inlet to mix the fuel gas with air, to enable complete combustion. Acetylene is commonly used in combination with oxygen.

Blue Flame vs Yellow Gas Flame Red or yellow gas flames may be the sign of incomplete combustion, wasted gas and a serious safety hazard. With hydrocarbon flames, such as gas, the amount of oxygen supplied with the gas determines the rate of combustion, flame colour and temperature.

- The gas used in fire extinguishers is carbon dioxide. That is only for a CO2 extinguishers High pressure and no Gauge on the unit(about 2000psi). Normal Dry chemical extingu … isher ABC, BC (195psi) use Nitrogen as the propellant. Carbon Dioxide has Moisture in it, which can rust a metal cylinder from the inside out.

- Gases and vapors can be the initial fuel and can cause confusion because the point of ignition can be some distance away from where sustained fire starts in the structure or furnishings. When ignition causes a low order explosion, it is obvious that a gas, vapor, or dust is involved.

Know the Potential Risks of Gas Poisoning in your Home Natural Gas and Carbon Monoxide. Natural gas is a colorless, odorless gas, yet has chemical additives to allow the average person to easily detect a leak. Natural gas lines in your home fuel everything from ovens and furnaces to water heaters, clothes dryers and fire places.

Fire There are wood fires, gas fires, metal fires, and more. Wood fires can usually be put out with water used to absorb the heat, but metal fires are too hot for water to absorb enough heat to put out the fire. If water is used to extinguish (put out) a metal fire, the water will simply evaporate.

fire fire. 1. a state, process, or instance of combustion in which fuel or other material is ignited and combined with oxygen, giving off light, heat, and flame. 2. a burning mass of material, as on a hearth or in a furnace. 3. the destructive burning of a building, town, forest, etc.; conflagration.

How Fire Works The dangerous thing about the chemical reactions in fire is the fact that they are self-perpetuating. The heat of the flame itself keeps the fuel at the ignition temperature, so it continues to burn as long as there is fuel and oxygen around it. The flame heats any surrounding fuel so it releases gases as well.

- Earth supplies oxygen to mix with the methane (natural gas) and when Wormwood adds in red hot pellets of rock, pieces of asteroid(s) and any other pieces of solid space junk it might have in tow, the result is literally fire raining down from the sky.

What is Liquid Petroleum Gas? Just as with natural gas, an identifying odor is added so it can be readily detected. When contained in an approved cylinder or tank, propane exists as a liquid and vapor. The vapor is released from the container as a clean-burning fuel gas.

What is more flammable than gasoline? Oxygen is required for gasoline to burn. There is far more oxygen in gasoline vapor than in liquid gasoline. This is why the flame is on top of a puddle of gas. Just the vapor … is burning.

Methane hydrate: Dirty fuel or energy saviour? Image caption Methane hydrate, or fire ice, is a highly energy-intensive fuel source. The world is addicted to hydrocarbons, and it's easy to see why-cheap, plentiful and easy to mine, they represent an abundant energy source to fuel industrial development the world over. Methane hydrate is in the form of a 3D ice structure with natural gas locked inside. 2  The substance looks like white ice, but it does not behave like it. 3  If methane hydrate is either warmed or depressurised, it will break down into water and natural gas.

Fire Fire is hot because conversion of the weak double bond in molecular oxygen, O2, to the stronger bonds in the combustion products carbon dioxide and water releases energy (418 kJ per 32 g of O2); the bond energies of the fuel play only a minor role here.

Fire Here is a look at the chemical composition of fire. Answer: Fire is the result of a chemical reaction, called combustion. At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. Fire emits heat and light.

- Fire Without Flame. Invisible propane gas flows, unlit, from a torch. On hitting the rhodium-studded ceramic honeycomb from a catalytic converter, it burns without flame, heating the ceramic red-hot. To a chemist, burning means the rapid combination of a fuel with oxygen, called oxidation.
