ARSON UNA Flashcards
refers to the natural condition created by the fire or the normal movement of fire, smoke and fire gases within a structure or building.
Thermal balance
refers to those turbulent circulations of steam and smoke which-replaces the normal flow of the products of combustion. Hot spots may develop during the extinguishment of the fire upsetting the thermal balance; such holes produced may mislead the investigator to believe that the fire originated at that
location.
Thermal Imbalance
there are four known sources of heat, namely:
CHEMICAL
ELECTRICAL
NUCLEAR
MECHANICAL
. refers to the amount of heat absorbed by a substance when a substance from solid to a liquid, and from a liquid to gas. On the other hand, heat is released during the conversion of a gas toliquid orliquid to solid.
LATENT HEAT
is the quantity of heat necessary to convert solid to liquid.
HEAT OF FUSION
is the quantity of heat absorbed when a substance is converted from liquid to gas.
HEAT OF VAPORIZATION
- refers to the manner in which fuel ignites, flame develops and fire spreads.
FIRE BEHAVIOUR
on the other hand it is the abnormal movement of fire due to interference of foreign matter.
THERMAL IMBALANCE
Heat is the flow of energy from a high temperature to a low temperature.
When these temperatures balance out, heat stops flowing, then the system (or set of systems) is said to be in
Thermal Equilibrium
is a process by which energy in the form of heat is exchanged between bodies or parts of the same body at different temperatures.
Heat Transfer
Which refers to the passage of heat energy from particles to particles contact of in a substance.
CONDUCTION
Materials that allow thermal energy to readily flow through them.
CONDUCTORS
- Usually generated by intense fire it refers to heat travel in an upward movement.
CONVECTION
Heat transfered even when separated to a vacuum. It iscommonly applied to all kinds of electromagnetic-wave phenomena, The process in which energy such as heat and rgys of light is sent out from atoms and molecules as they undergo internal alteration. This energy travels in a straight line with the speed of light.
Radiation
Materials that resist the flow of heat
INSULATORS
