091 - Fire fundamentals pt 2 - Ignition with Rory Hadden

Fire Science Show

Welcome to Fire Fundamentals pt. 2 with Rory Hadden. This episode is focused on the concept of ignition and its role in fire safety - as an event leading to fires, as something often investigated post-fire, but also as a vehicle to understand and measure general concepts of flammability of materials.

In this episode we cover:

  • ignition of gases, liquids and solids
  • flammability limits
  • flashpoint and fire point
  • open and closed cup methods for ignition of liquids
  • a little bit of pyrolysis and heat transfer

Hope you enjoy this mini-series - more of those will be coming!
