  2. Thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    Oxygen-balanced iron thermite 2Al + Fe 2 O 3 has theoretical maximum density of 4.175 g/cm 3 an adiabatic burn temperature of 3135 K or 2862 °C or 5183 °F (with phase transitions included, limited by iron, which boils at 3135 K), the aluminum oxide is (briefly) molten and the produced iron is mostly liquid with part of it being in gaseous ...

  4. Thermal burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_burn

    A thermal burn is a type of burn resulting from making contact with heated objects, such as boiling water, steam, hot cooking oil, fire, and hot objects. Scalds are the most common type of thermal burn suffered by children, but for adults thermal burns are most commonly caused by fire. [ 2 ]

  5. Pyrotechnic composition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_composition

    smoke compositions – burn slowly, produce smoke, plain or colored; delay compositions – burn at constant slow speed, used to introduce delays into the firing train; pyrotechnic heat sources – produce large amount of heat and little to no gases, slow-burning, often thermite-like compositions; sparklers – producing white or colored sparks

  6. Exothermic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exothermic_process

    In an adiabatic system (i.e. a system that does not exchange heat with the surroundings), an otherwise exothermic process results in an increase in temperature of the system. [11] In exothermic chemical reactions, the heat that is released by the reaction takes the form of electromagnetic energy or kinetic energy of molecules. [12]

  7. Burning plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_plasma

    A plasma enters what scientists call the burning plasma regime when the self-heating power exceeds any external heating. [1] The Sun is a burning plasma that has reached fusion ignition, meaning the Sun's plasma temperature is maintained solely by energy released from fusion. The Sun has been burning hydrogen for 4.5 billion years and is about ...

    [28] [42] Lockwood and Fröhlich, 2007, found "considerable evidence for solar influence on the Earth's pre-industrial climate and the Sun may well have been a factor in post-industrial climate change in the first half of the last century", but that "over the past 20 years, all the trends in the Sun that could have had an influence on the Earth ...
