Ch 4 Fire Dynamics
Across
- 2. Instantaneous explosion or rapid burning of superheated gases that occurs when oxygen is introduced in a confined space
- 5. A rapid oxidation process which is a gas-phase chemical reaction resulting in the evolution of light and heat
- 7. Form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules within a fuel
- 9. Chemical process that occurs when a substance combines with an oxidizer
- 11. Transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluids or gases
- 12. Amount of energy delivered over a given period of time
- 15. Anything that occupies space and has mass
- 16. The SI Unit of power or rate of work equal to 1 joule per second
- 17. Degree to which a solid, liquid or gas dissolves in a solvent
- 18. Fatal condition caused by severe oxygen deficiency
- 19. Chemical decomposition of a solid material by heating.
- 20. Model of the four elements required to have a fire
- 22. Physical flow or transfer of heat energy from one body to another, thought direct contact
- 23. Force per unit area exerted by a liquid or gas
Down
- 1. Condition in which the unburned fire gases that have accumulated at the top of a compartment ignite
- 3. A chemical process of oxidation that occurs at a rate fast enough to produce heat
- 4. Material that will maintain combustion under specified environmental conditions
- 5. Minimum temperature at which a liquid gives off enough vapors to form an ignitable mixture (two words)
- 6. Physical process that changes a liquid into a gaseous state
- 8. Unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI)
- 10. Capacity to perform work
- 13. Transmission or transfer of heat energy from one body to another body at lower temperatures
- 14. Tendency or capacity of liquid or gas to rise
- 21. Measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter
