  1. 8. Transmission or transfer of heat energy from one body to another body at lower temperature
  2. 9. initiation of combustion by heat but without a spark or flame
  3. 13. any material that readily yields oxygen or other oxidizing gas, or that readily reacts to promote or initiate combustion of combustible materials.
  4. 14. a material that will maintain combustion under specified environmental conditions
  5. 15. Reaction, a Chemical reaction between two or more materials that changes the materials and produces heat
  6. 16. Ignition, the moment when a mixture of fuel and oxygen encounters an external heat source which sufficient heat or thermal energy to start a combustion reaction.
  7. 18. Energy, energy possessed by a moving object because of its energy
  8. 19. Ignition, the initiation of combustion of a material by an internal chemical or biological reaction that has produced sufficient heat to ignite the material
  9. 20. refer to the amount of additional heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance.
  10. 21. physical process that changes a liquid into gaseous state
  11. 23. transfer of heat energy from one body to another through direct contact or an intervening medium, from the point where heat is produced to another location
Down
  1. 1. the result of exothermic reactions, occuring spontaneously in some materials under certain conditions.
  2. 2. the chemical decomposition of a solid material by heating
  3. 3. Energy, stored energy possessed by an object that can be released in the future to perform work once released
  4. 4. the capacity to perform work; occurs when a force is applied to an object over a distance, or when a substance undergoes a chemical, biological, or physical transformation
  5. 5. a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules within a fuel, which is transferred from one body to another as a result of a temperature difference between the bodies, such as from the sun to the earth. It is measured in degrees of temperature.
  6. 6. chemical process that occurs when a substance combines with an oxidizer such as oxygen in the air
  7. 7. transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluids or gases, usually in an upward direction
  8. 10. measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of matter, expressed in terms of units or degrees.
  9. 11. a chemical process of oxidation that occurs at a rate fast enough to produce heat and usually light in the form of either glow or flame
  10. 12. a rapid oxidation process, is a gas-phase chemical reaction resulting in the evolution of light and heat in varying intensities
  11. 17. Reaction, a Chemical reaction in which a substance absorbs heat
  12. 22. point, the temperature at which liquid fuel produces sufficient vapors to support combustion once the fuel ignites
