What is Fire? - Liquid and gaseous fuels

In this episode, we delve into the properties of liquid and gaseous fuels, focusing on their behavior in relation to fire safety. Building upon our previous video where we discussed solid fuels, we now explore how liquid fuels ignite through evaporation and the conditions required for gaseous fuels to combust.
The video covers key concepts such as:
- The evaporation process of liquid fuels and how it influences fire risks.
- The relationship between fuel concentration and the likelihood of ignition, including terms like "too lean" and "too rich."
- The flammable range defined by the lower and upper flammable limits, indicating when a gas or vapor mixture can burn.
- Important fire safety measures, such as testing for explosive limits in enclosed spaces using explosimeters or multi-purpose gas detectors.
- The flash point and fire point, two critical temperature values that determine when a liquid fuel can form a flammable vapor-air mixture and maintain combustion without external heat.
By the end of this video, you'll have a deeper understanding of fire safety related to liquid and gaseous fuels, providing valuable insights for safety at sea or in any environment where these fuels are present. If you find our content helpful, please consider supporting our channel by a donation:
