Sorry for interrupting. And I apologise again for how irrelevant the post is for the cafe.
By any chance, is anyone familiar with chemical or electrical engineering? My father wants me to solve a lot of problems concerning factories handling flammable fluids. It is terrible. Flammability, ignitability, zoning, equipment, fluid categories... I am only training to be a civil engineer!
I'm just an amateur but you might wanna suggest 'em to keep those out of any other highly flammable materials and put 'em in some kind of isolated space, preferably vacuum ones or those imbued with Carbon Dioxides because fires seem to get away quick with those around~
These stuffs spreads fire really quick once ignited when there's a lot of oxygen around so that's just for precaution~
Still uncertain about these ones, you probably might wanna consult a professional about this. I'm still taken by surprise why your dad wants to consult you on such important thing, you might be a really good student in yer department~
^ Thank you. I keep that in mind. I hope you won't mind me looking for you if I need help.
Come to think of it, can I post questions like these on Serious Discussion? Like, can you explain to me the difference between flammability and ignitability?
Of course, there is always Google, but mingling with the community is better than the drudgery of doing research.
Well I had one year in Chemical Engineering before moving to another major, though I don't know much stuff myself lol~
Hmm...you can always try but you might wanna make it into some kind that's similar to a discussion topic. As for flammability, as far as I know it's the probability level in some kind of substance for catching on fire...most likely because some kind of fluctuations in the environment that reaches the point where it's liable for a combustion to happen naturally~
As for ignitability it's similar to flammability, about how easy for a material to perform combustion, in this case during normal environmental conditions, on this context you try to make it into combustion on purpose...not the environment fluctuation that's doing it~
Well that's just my assumption it might not be credible enough~
