Beginning the group discussion. 1  Remind the group they are in a first draft conference; the drafts won't be polished. 2  Explain that sentence level discussion should be minimized. 3  Review the assignment with the group, making sure that they all understand the goals.
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Slower oxidative processes like rusting or digestion are not included by this definition.
A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire. It is caused by a highly exothermic reaction taking place in a thin zone. Very hot flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density to be considered plasma. Percentage oxygen content of the atmosphere. 2  The fuel being burned (i.e., depends on how quickly the process occurs; how violent the combustion is.). 3  Any oxidation of the fuel. 4  Temperature of atmosphere links to adiabatic flame temperature (i.e., heat will transfer to a cooler atmosphere more quickly).
