Five Modern Uses of Fire
Hope you feel better Dr. Nissen!
Thank you for reading! [my computer dont have PowerPoint so....]
Have a great day!

Fossil Fuel
Electricity
- The sources of the fire: petroleum, natural gas, and coal, in power plants
- Fosil fuel is a primary sources of energy so itself is being used for heating.
- Fire is being used for heating the fossil fuel and let it burn more energy from it.
- There are many types of fossil duels so there are different kinds of vessels that's needed.
- The sources of the fire: (filament) wire
- Filament wire heated to a high temperature by an electric current passing through it, until it glows. The glass bulb of a general service lamp can reach temperatures between 200 and 260 °C (392 and 500 °F).
- Sparks are producted between the wires.
- Feed-through terminals or wires embedded in the glass are the vessels that's needed.

Internal combustion engine
- The sources of the fire: combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel)
- The compression stroke is being heated(3600°F)
- Fire was being used for heating system (a bit obsolete now)
- The gas turbine and the jet engine are the vessels that's needed.

Incendiary weapons
Thermal power station
- The source of the fire: napalm, thermite, chlorine trifluoride, or white phosphorus.
- Napalm was first employed in incendiary bombs and napalm generates temperatures of 800 to 1,200 degrees Celsius (1,500-2,200°F).
- Fire is being used for a "light up", as an energy soure. Incendiary weapons are commonly being used in World War I and Would War II.
- Contanters with tar-covered rope are the vessels that's needed.
- The sources of the fire: fossil fuel/nuclea power/ solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric
- In the power station the water is being heated and turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. steam turbine entry temperatures are typically 565°C (the creep limit of stainless steel) and steam condenser temperatures are around 30°C.
- the fire is used for heat up the water inorder for the water turn to steam, after that the steams are condensed in a condenser and then back to where its heated.
- The feed water heater is the vessels that's needed.
