  2. MAPP gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPP_gas

    Genuine MAPP gas can be used in combination with oxygen for heating, soldering, brazing and even welding because of its high flame temperature of 2925 °C (5300 °F) in oxygen. Although acetylene has a higher flame temperature (3160 °C, 5720 °F), MAPP has the advantage that it requires neither dilution nor special container fillers during ...

  3. Oxy-fuel welding and cutting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxy-fuel_welding_and_cutting

    MAPP gas can be used at much higher pressures than acetylene, sometimes up to 40 or 50 psi in high-volume oxy-fuel cutting torches which can cut up to 12-inch-thick (300 mm) steel. Other welding gases that develop comparable temperatures need special procedures for safe shipping and handling.

  4. Adiabatic flame temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature

    The constant volume adiabatic flame temperature is the temperature that results from a complete combustion process that occurs without any work, heat transfer or changes in kinetic or potential energy. Its temperature is higher than in the constant pressure process because no energy is utilized to change the volume of the system (i.e., generate ...

  5. Climate of Texas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Texas

    As of 2016, most area of Texas had already warmed by 1.5 °F (0.83 °C) since the previous century because of greenhouse gas emissions by the United States and other countries. [30] Texas is expected to experience a wide range of environmental impacts from climate change in the United States , including rising sea levels , more frequent extreme ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Texas_power_crisis

    The gas industry is not similarly preparing to ensure operation and is resisting regulation by the Railroad Commission of Texas, which oversees the oil and gas industry but whose commissioners' campaigns are funded by it. [22] Gas production fell by 25% on January 2, 2022, when temperatures in West Texas fell to 14 degrees. [22]

  7. Climate of Houston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Houston

    The State of Texas concluded that, since 2000, the Manchester neighborhood in eastern Houston had the highest annual averages of 1,3-butadiene of any area in Texas. [53] Houston's air quality has often been compared to Los Angeles and Beijing. [49] Houston has introduced many programs since the 2000 federal order to reduce air pollution in the ...

  8. Methylacetylene-propadiene gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylacetylene-propadiene_gas

    Methylacetylene-propadiene (MPS) gas is a type of fuel gas used in oxy-fuel welding and cutting torches, comprising a mixture of several gases. MPS gases [ edit ]

  9. Burning Index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Index

    Burning Index (BI) is a number used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to describe the potential amount of effort needed to contain a single fire in a particular fuel type within a rating area.
