IAAI Basic Fire Investigations
Conduction - ANS-Heat transferred to some other body or within a body by using direct
touch.
Convection - ANS-Heat transferred with the aid of move within a medium which include a
gasoline or a liquid.
Fire - ANS-A speedy oxidation system, that's an exothermic chemical reaction, ensuing
within the launch of heat and mild electricity in varying intensities.
Fire Effects - ANS-The observable or measurable changes in or on a material due to a
fireplace.
Fire Investigator - ANS-An individual who has established the competencies and information
vital to behavior, coordinate, and complete an investigation.
Fire Patterns - ANS-The bodily changes, or identifiable shapes, fashioned by a fireplace
effect or group of hearth effects.
Heat - ANS-A form of power characterized with the aid of vibration of molecules and able to
starting up and helping chemical changes and adjustments of nation.
Heat Flux - ANS-The measure of the rate of heat switch to a surface or a place, typically
expressed in kW/m^2 or W/cm^2
Heat Release Rate (HRR) - ANS-The charge at which warmth power is generated through
burning.
Heat Transfer - ANS-The exchange of thermal electricity among materials thru conduction,
convection, and/or radiation.
Melting Temperature of Aluminum - ANS-1,220 F
Melting Temperature of Copper - ANS-1,981 F
Point of Origin - ANS-The physical location within the place of starting place wherein a
warmness source, a gasoline, and an oxidizing agent first engage, resulting in a fireplace or
explosion.
Pyrolysis - ANS-A manner wherein cloth is decomposed, or broken down, into easier
molecular compounds with the aid of the results of heat alone; pyrolysis regularly precedes
combustion.
