methods of heat movement Flashcards

1
Q

conduction

A

in solids –> atoms packed in= atomic vibration
insulators heat most quickly, reach ignition temp fastest
metals dissipate –> transfers to secondary locations quicker

Q

convection

A

gas and liquid by circulation of molecules
in fires, air currents draw O2 to the base increasing ventilation

Q

direct flame inpingements

A

a combo of conduction and convection mechanisms
the gas plume transfers heat to new fuel sources = chain reaction
