Without the hot gases rising due to the lack of gravity the flame takes the.

Flame in space. Now a new experiment designed built and managed at nasa s glenn research center will ignite an understanding of microgravity fire on a much larger scale. But odd things happen in space where gravity loses its grip on solids liquids and gases. In space flames burn at a lower temperature and use less oxygen whose move randomly before becoming the source of fire. In space molecular diffusion draws oxygen to the flame and combustion products away from the flame at a rate 100 times slower than the buoyant flow on earth.

Since no flow of air replaces the oxygen that is burnt only random oxygen molecules make it to the flame. In space molecular diffusion draws oxygen to the flame and combustion products away from the flame at a rate 100 times slower than the buoyant flow on earth said dan dietrich flex project. Cool flames burn at the relatively low temperature of 500k to 800k says williams. Flames in space burn with a lower temperature at a lower rate and with less oxygen than in normal gravity.

A spacecraft fire is one of the greatest crew safety concerns for nasa and the international space exploration community says gary ruff saffire project manager. This means that materials used to extinguish the fire must be present in higher concentrations. The spacecraft fire experiment known as saffire is a series of experiments to be launched on three different flights beginning in march. A scientist at nasa explained.

The slow flow of air from the fans mixing the air in a spacecraft can make the flames burn even faster. But as the flame balls cooled and began to go out a different kind of burning took over. It just hovers a small ghostly orb until it goes out. Heptane flame balls on the iss started out in this hot fire regime.

If you see a fire on earth you might run over and stomp it out or use a fire extinguisher. Such orbs are called flame balls a term that is. The upward flow of air is what gives a flame its teardrop shape and causes it to flicker. In space a flame is shaped like a sphere instead of a teardrop and it doesn t flicker.

In orbit rushing over and stomping on a flame might accelerate combustion at least temporarily because you are creating an airflow that did not exist before.
