Autoignition temperature is the temperature at which a substance bums up in the absence of any inflammation source (flame, spark). ... 

Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) (Also known as Lower Flammable Limit). The lowest concentration of a substance that will produce a fire or flash when an ignition source (flame, spark, etc.) is present. It is expressed in percent of vapor or gas in the air by volume. Below the LEL or LFL, the air/contaminant mixture is theoretically too lean to burn. (See also UEL)... 

The optical path for flame AA is arranged in this order light source, flame (sample container), monochromator, and detector. Compared to UV-VIS molecular spectrometry, the sample container and monochromator are switched. The reason for this is that the flame is, of necessity, positioned in an open area of the instrument surrounded by room light. Hence, the light from the room can leak to the detector and therefore must be eliminated. In addition, flame emissions must be eliminated. Placing the monochromator between the flame and the detector accomplishes both. However, flame emissions that are the...

No matter the source, flame retardants, especially the poly brominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE s), are coming under scrutiny because they are persistent organic pollutants (POPs). They are appearing in human samples, most notably serum, adipose fat tissue and breast milk. PBDE s are also under investigation as potential endocrine mimickers or endocrine disrupters. As a result, PBDE s are the most highly regulated flame retardants. Their environmental fate will continue to be a topic of research for years to come. 

Pre-Hot facility Facility in an instantaneous boiler (< 15 liters) where the water within the boiler stays hot while there is no demand. The heat could be produced by different heat primary sources (flame. Joule effect, or both). The waiting time, between request and answer, is minimized. 

See chapter 2 for more about heat transfer phenomena. Heat flux, q = Q/A, heat transfer rate per unit of exposed area, is the product of the average coefficient of heat transfer (C7) and the temperature difference (AT) between the heat source (flame, refractory, poc) and heat receiver (load) ... 

Test methods of flame spread comprise all the techniques where a specimen is subjected to the effect of an igniting source (flame, heat radiation, glowing body) followed by recording of the consequences of ignition. 

Polymer powder is injected into a heat source (flame or plasma) and transported to a preheated substrate. The thickness of the coating is governed by the niunber of repeated passes of the spray gim across the substrate. A large particle size or molecular weight distribution may facilitate the formation of numerous heterogeneities within the microstructure of the coated siuface such as creating voids, trapped gasses, immelted particles, splats and pyrolized material.

In this case, a sohd lubricant such as graphite or molybdenum disulfide (M0S2) is mixed with Ught petroleum oil. The fluid is used to carry the solid to points that need lubrication. The fluid is then evaporated off by heat. This type of lubricant is often used where the chain is directly exposed to a heat source (flame) and can be used in tanperatures of 550T to lOOOT. They are often the only types of lubricant that can be used in these very high temperatures. Petroleum oils with soUds cost about twice as much as petroleum oils.
