Flame retardant — Flame retardants are materials that inhibit or resist the spread of fire. These can be separated into several categories: *Minerals such as asbestos, compounds such as aluminium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, antimony trioxide, various hydrates … Wikipedia
Flame speed — The flame speed is the measured rate of expansion of the flame front in a combustion reaction. Whereas flame speed is generally used for a fuel, a related term is explosive velocity, which is the same relationship measured for an explosive.… … Wikipedia
Flame — A flame is often defined as the visible (light emitting) part of a fire. Physically, it is caused by a highly exothermic reaction (for example, combustion, a self sustaining oxidation reaction) taking place in a thin zone. A flame generally emits … Wikipedia
Flame ionization detector — A flame ionization detector (FID) is a type of gas detector used in gas chromatography. The first flame ionization detector was developed in 1957 by scientists working for the CSIRO in Melbourne, Australia.… … Wikipedia
Premixed flame — A premixed flame is a flame in which the oxidizer has been mixed with the fuel before it reaches the flame front. This creates a thin flame front as all of the reactants are readily available. If the mixture is rich, a diffusion flame will… … Wikipedia
Diffusion flame — In a diffusion flame, combustion takes place at the flame surface only, where the fuel meets oxygen in the right concentration the interior of the flame contains unburnt fuel. This is opposite to combustion in a premixed flame. The fire breather… … Wikipedia
Cool flame — is a flame having maximal temperature below about 400 °C.[1] It is usually produced in a chemical reaction of a certain fuel air mixture. Contrary to conventional flame, the reaction is not vigorous and releases very little heat, light and carbon … Wikipedia
Brominated flame retardant — Brominated flame retardants are a group of flame retardants that consist of organic compounds containing bromine.InformationBrominated are the major type of chemical flame retardants, and are very effective in plastics and textile applications.… … Wikipedia
Photoelectric flame photometer — A photoelectric flame photometer is a device used in inorganic chemical analysis to determine the concentration of certain metal ions, among them sodium, potassium, lithium, and calcium.In principle, it is a controlled flame test with the… … Wikipedia
Burn rate (chemistry) — In chemistry, the burn rate is a measure of the linear combustion rate of a compound or substance such as a candle or a propellant. The industry recognized nomenclatures are mm/s or in/s for millimeters per second or inches per second… … Wikipedia
