Fire terminology

Full advantage of the neutron production by plutonium requires a fast reactor, in which neutrons remain at high energy. Cooling is provided by a hquid metal such as molten sodium or NaK, an alloy of sodium and potassium. The need for pressurization is avoided, but special care is required to prevent leaks that might result in a fire. A commonly used terminology is Hquid-metal fast-breeder reactor (LMFBR).

A flame could begin with the reactants mixed (premixed) or reactants that might diffuse together (diffusion flame). Generally, a flame is thought of with the reactants in the gas phase. Variations in this viewpoint for a flame or fire process might occur and are defined in special terminology. Indeed, while flame applies to a gas phase reaction, fire,...

The skin is a soft outer covering of an animal in particular, a vertebrate. It is the body s first defense against the elements, be it rain, sun, cold, bacteria and other microorganisms, or simple cuts and scrapes. The skin protects the rest of the body by putting itself in the line of fire. Under these circumstances, it is no wonder that skin ailments are such a common occurrence. Any ailment that affects the skin is known as a skin disease. In scientific terminology, all skin diseases are referred to as dermatosis. 

An insulated tank can be a protected tank, built to third-party standards UL 2085 and/or SwRl 93-01, or a fire-resistant tank built to UL 2080 or SwRI 97-04. Protected tanks were developed in line with NFPA requirements and terminology, while fire-resistant ASTs were developed in line with Uniform Fire Code (now International Fire Code) requirements and terminology. Both protected tanks and fire-resistant tanks must pass a 1093°C (2000°F), 2-h fire test. 

The ga idea so neatly explained by Pemety is physically displayed in Etant donnas. .. by the flaming gas lamp—in French, a feu de lampe—held aloft by the supine nude woman, and its obvious component parts, as terminology (in French), include Air, Chaleur, Feu, Feu de Lampe, Flamme, Lampe, Lumiere, Vapeur, etc., all of which are exhaustively treated by Pernety. Since these terms are all alchemical in their employment, as a matter of natural course they contextually repeat themselves. Given this, we need only note that it is Pemety s definition of one particular term, Lamp-Fire, which is the one that best fits Duchamp s particular picturing of his Illuminating Gas. The Feu de Lampe represents, once again, The Mercury of the Philosophers. Accordingly, Pemety explains that... 

By the end of the seventeenth century, the old traditional elements from Aristotle had been either abandoned by the new Paracelsian iatrochymists or absorbed under new terminology. Paracelsus tria prima of mercury, SULPHUR, and salt became the new set of elements or principles, each more narrowly focused on a single property than had been the four elements of Aristotle. Yet the tria prima clearly derived from the older tradition. Salt assumed the role of the Aristotelian earth, while sulphur took that of FIRE. The mercury of Paracelsus rather absorbed the characteristics of both AIR and water, becoming the carrier of all spiritual, i.e., volatile qualities of the products of fire analysis. Mercury also carried the basic metallic properties from the mercury/sulphur theory of metals brought to the Latin West from Arabic alchemy.

The test bars of the Nile mud were reddish brown (5YR 5/4) in the Munsell color notation at the 600°C zone of the gradient firing, red (2.5YR 5/6) at 850°C, and darkened with incipient vitrification to weak red (2.5YR 4/3) at 1100°C after a holding period of 30 minutes. The scratch hardness, using Mohs scale, increased from 3.0 to 6.5 for the male (better working clay in the potters terminology), and from 2.3 to 5.0 for the female mud. The Nile mud shrank far more when fired...

TINCTURE — In the terminology of the Hermetic science to tinge or tincture signifies to Conduct the Regimen of the Fire, to administer it to the Matter for its digestion and coction in such a manner that the latter shall assume the successive different colours which are enumerated by the Philosophers, and are called by them demonstrative signs.

In general, the ASTM definitions cited in this glossary were taken from terminology developed by the following ASTM committees D-20 on Plastics, D-11 on Rubber and E-05 on Fire Standards. As noted above, the reader may observe a similarity between ASTM and ISO standard definitions since each of these organizations attempts to provide the best definitions available and readily adapt or use each other s definitions when desirable. 

For Aristotle, the elements themselves are unobservable and transcendental (in Paneth s terminology), although they give rise to all the variety we see before us. The four elements (fire, earth, water, and air) are regarded as property bearers and are responsible for the properties of substance, although they are themselves unobservable. The elements are immaterial qualities impressed on an otherwise undifferentiated primordial matter and are present in all substances. Furthermore, the properties of substances are governed by the proportion of the four elements present within them.
