2. It can be applied on the live tissues, | It can be apply on in animate object, |
For example. skin / Mucous | For example. Surface, lab working tables, floor. |
3. What is ignition temperature?
The minimum temperature at which a substance catches fire and burns is called its ignition temperature.
4. If 4.5kg of fuel is completely burnt and amount of heat produced stands measured at 1, 80,000 KJ what is the calorific value.
Amount of fuel | = 4.5 Kg |
Heat produced | =1, 80,000 KJ |
calorific value | = Heat produced / Amount of fuel |
=1, 80,000 / 4.5 | |
= 40,000 KJ / Kg |
