Discuss the specific cases of ignition temperature.
Dear student,
Regards
Ignition temperature refers to the minimum temperature at which a substance that is flammable such as air or gas, must be heated before it begins burning without the source of the heat. This temperature is a major determinant in setting the safety standards for low volatile products such as lubricating oil, diesel oil, and fuel oil.
Some specific ignitions temperatures are as follows-
Substance | Ignition temperature |
White phosphorus | 35-degree Celcius |
Petrol | 246-degree Celcius |
Kerosene | 220-degree Celcius |
Diesel | 210-degree Celcius |
Coal | 454-degree Celcius |
