Fire Triangle ?

[Benzerari]

It's found to be that the combination of; Heat, Oxygen and Fuel (combustible material) make fire..., but how much of each? In terms of percentage!

God in Heaven!!!!

Benz Its found that the combination of knowledge, training and experience make up a fire  alarm engineer. But how much of each? In terms of percentage!

PS I will have one of whatever you are drinking!

what was the comination ratio of the mad traingle you had last night.  Drink , cannabis  and a computer....


do you sit up on saturday nights worrying about such stuff or are you bored of the X Factor?

I'll try and simplify it in case the exotic stuff hasn't worn off this early

The amount of heat needed depends on the type of fuel present  eg 1 kilo of paper requires less than 1 kilo of wood
The amount of fuel only dictates how long the fire will burn
In relation to oxygen, normal air has 21%. Go below 16% and fire struggles, below 14% and the fire ceases.

It looks boring question at the beginning but in fact it isn't!

Good start Davo, this makes sense, and your answer just needs more refinements

[Thomas Brookes]

Benz,

you need to get out more.

[Benzerari]

Fire = f (H, O, C) , means fire is function of heat, oxygen and combustible material

Where: H = Heat, O = Oxygen, C = Combustible material.

Heat: is quantified in degree centigrade or alternatively
Oxygen: is quantified with percentage of availability in the surrounding environment
Combustible material: is the remaining struggling point, therefore:

The question is: can combustibility be quantified and how? Any idea?

I am always out, I have just been on the moon watching Indian rockets landing on the moon, they have just set up a corner shop and (petrol station) sorry (oxygen station), it isn't that busy at the moment, but we never now what the future reveal 

[Tom Sutton]

Hasn’t it move up one additional plane its now The Fire Tetrahedron?

[Davo]

Benz

any combustible material has a calorific value per unit of weight, fire loadings etc
Any more and you get to calculations algebra etc, far too boring on a sunday

Leave him where he is. At least we can keep an eye on him.

But what about pyrotechnics?
Benz it just aint that simple. Get yourseld a basic text book on chemistry and combustion. The IFE do one with exactly that name.
