The fire triangle - ANSWERSoxygen - right side
heat -bottom
fuel - left side
Fire Tetrahedron - ANSWERSfuel -top triangle
chemical chain reaction -bottom triangle
heat- bottom left triangle
oxygen - bottom right triangle
Chemical Chain reaction - ANSWERSin the burning process of fuel elements( compounds)are
released by heat produced by the fire. These elements join in the fire (combined with oxygen)
to produce more heat which releases more fuel elements
What is the difference between the fire triangle and the fire tetrahedron? - ANSWERSChemical
chain reaction
, Oxygen percentage in normal air - ANSWERS21%
Oxygen - ANSWERSsupports combustion & life
Minimum percentage of oxygen needed to support respiration & combustion - ANSWERS16%
visible flame goes out (oxygen) - ANSWERS15%
Fire goes out (oxygen) - ANSWERS5%
definition of fire - ANSWERSfire is a rapid chemical combination of fuel and oxygen in the
presence of Heat usually accompanied by production of heat light and combustion byproducts
(smoke gases and dust)
byproducts of combustion - ANSWERSsmoke gases and dust
Fire is usually accompanied by - ANSWERSsmoke gases and dust
solid states of fuel -tetrahedron - ANSWERSwood, paper, plastic, rubber
converted into a gas by pyrolysis
size and shape effects ease of ignition and rate of burning
liquid states of fuel - ANSWERSgasoline, kerosene, paint thinner,
