How does the rate of flame spread over the surface of the cooking oil (liquid) depend on the flash point?

Instructions
For this assignment, you will complete the fifth essay of the scenario-based case study. The essay should be a one- to two-page narrative focusing on arguments that support what the authors discuss in Chapters 8, 9, and 11, as well as other research that you conduct related to these concepts. You are to focus on one or two concepts in this unit’s chapters and relate to the fire that now involves several rooms and other apartments. Make sure the points are tangible. The narrative should consist of your evaluation of the textbook and other resources, listing the most compelling evidence or argument.
The questions below may help you to focus your essay on the one or two concepts chosen.
How does the rate of flame spread over the surface of the cooking oil (liquid) depend on the flash point?
If the cooking oil is at or above its flash point, is the flame spread rate fast, and will the spilled oil engulf with flames within seconds?
With the intense heat in the room, is the cooking oil already evaporating sufficiently to reach the lower flammability limit in the vapor phase over the fuel surface?
Does chemical change occur within solid materials in and around the apartment and within the chemistry of the volatiles during pyrolysis?
Does the dripping or running of the synthetic fabric that is draped from the ceiling to the floor increase the fire spread rate due to the increase in burning surface?
Can the heat from the apartment fire cause skin burns and/or weaken the structure to the point of collapse?
Can a single exposure to the smoke in the apartment have acute effects (e.g., death, incapacitation, impaired mobility, and reduced clarity of thinking) and post-exposure effects (e.g., lung damage) to the downed firefighter?
Use APA guidelines, and summarize your response. To supplement your discussion and support your conclusions, you should use information from the CSU Online Library from reputable, reliable sources, such as journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations following APA guidelines. You must include at least three sources, including your textbook.

Do you agree with your classmate’s perspective? Why or why not?

You must reply to peer based on peer post   (In The Soft-Hearted Sioux, the character of Sitting Bull is a perfect example of perseverance. From the time he was a child, Sitting Bull was destined to become a leader within Sioux society. Sitting Bull was part of the Hunkpapa tribe of Lakotas, located in the northern area now known as South Dakota. Sitting Bull was not able to become a hereditary chief among the Lakota, so he chose to gain political stature by joining influential societies. He became highly respected and influential, and in the early 1860s he was granted membership in the Fox Society, which had delegates from other Lakota bands. Sitting Bull was later elevated to the position of blotunka and used his position to unite the Sioux people against the American threat. This, combined with her vision of him, made Sitting Bull a key leader among the Sioux during the later defense of his homeland. He was constantly fighting against all odds, whether against the US government or rival tribes.

Do you agree with your classmate’s perspective? Why or why not? Be specific. What is the most convincing part of your classmate’s post? Why?

Why is understanding the neutral plane critical to life safety?

For this assignment, you will complete the fourth essay of the scenario-based case study. The essay should be a one- to two-page narrative focusing on arguments that support what the authors discuss in Chapters 7 and 12, as well as other research that you conduct related to these concepts.
The questions below may help you in focusing your essay on the one or two concepts chosen.
The plume of a fire burning in the apartment contains three zones. What are the differences between the layers in the zones?
When a fire plume hits a ceiling, it spreads horizontally, radiating thermal energy and accelerating fire growth. Why is this important to understand?
A two-way flow occurs through the doorway of a fire room. The inflow through the lower portion of the opening is driven by air entrainment into the flames. The mass outflow through the upper portion of the opening is slightly higher due to the added mass of the combustion products. Why is this important for firefighters to understand?
The ventilation pattern can change during a fire. What determines the hot upper layer temperature and optical density during a fire in a compartment with an opening?
What is the neutral plane?
Why is understanding the neutral plane critical to life safety?
Use APA guidelines, and summarize your response.
