Malraux, to be sure, does not abandon the world of violence, combat and sudden death which has become his hallmark as a creative artist, and which is the only world, apparently, in which his imagination can flame into life.

Another example is the adiabatic flame temperature, which is the temperature that would be achieved by a flame in the absence of heat loss to the surroundings.

If a flame is held before the lips while these words are spoken, it flickers more during aspirated nitrate than during unaspirated night rate.

The sample solution is aspirated by a pneumatic nebulizer, transformed into an aerosol, which is introduced into a spray chamber, where it is mixed with the flame gases and conditioned in a way that only the finest aerosol droplets (< 10 μm ) enter the flame.

This conditioning process is responsible that only about 5 % of the aspirated sample solution reaches the flame, but it also guarantees a relatively high freedom from interference.

On top of the spray chamber is a burner head that produces a flame that is laterally long ( usually 5 – 10 cm ) and only a few mm deep.

In flame AAS a steady-state signal is generated during the time period when the sample is aspirated.

Its sensitivity is 2 – 3 orders of magnitude higher than that of flame AAS, so that determinations in the low μg L-1 range ( for a typical sample volume of 20µL ) and ng g-1 range ( for a typical sample mass of 1 mg ) can be carried out.

This is the oldest and still most commonly used technique, particularly for flame AAS.

Many observe the traditional bonfire rites, to whatever extent this is feasible where they live, including the dousing of the household hearth flame and relighting it from the communal fire.

A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a common piece of laboratory equipment that produces a single open gas flame, which is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion.

According to a 2008 television programme, presented by Griff Rhys Jones, “ the flame has only been extinguished once, by a drunken Mexican football supporter on the night that France beat Brazil here in Paris ,” most likely referring to the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final.

Miners could place the safety lamp close to the ground to detect gases, such as carbon dioxide, that are denser than air and so could collect in depressions in the mine ; if the mine air was oxygen-poor ( asphyxiant gas ), the lamp flame would be extinguished ( black damp or chokedamp ).

A hearth fire might be deliberately, ritually extinguished at need, and its lighting or relighting should be accompanied by rituals of completion, purification and renewal, comparable with the rituals and connotations of an eternal flame and of sanctuary lamps.

The blue flame will sustain itself after the sparks are extinguished because the continued combustion of the flame is now energetically favorable.

The cauldron that traditionally flames continuously from the opening until the closing ceremony was temporarily extinguished ( The flame itself was transferred to a lantern ) prior to the athletics events while the cauldron was moved to the southern side of the stadium.

The sign of the cross is often made with soot from this flame on the lintel above the home's main door, and the flame is transferred to the icon corner oil lamp ; only then can the lampáda be extinguished.

Then, the priest lights a single candle from the eternal flame on the altar ( which is never extinguished ).

On the day of the funeral, he gave orders that the sacred flame in the temple should be extinguished.

:" Whatever happens, the flame of the French resistance must not be extinguished and will not be extinguished.

Once lit, the heat from the burner maintains the pressure in the tank until the flame is extinguished.

Commercial griddles are often required to have pilot protection ( also known as “ flame safety ”) to prevent the unregulated flow of gas if the griddle pilot burners are somehow extinguished.

The snag burst into flame, and the wildfire that grew out of this burned 311, 000 acres ( 1259 km² ) before it was extinguished by seasonal rains on September 5.

The Pan American flame is then extinguished.

The flame is extinguished by screwing the " match " back into the shell, where it absorbs fuel for the next use.

The flame is cut back occasionally with scissors and extinguished between 5 and 10 centimeters ( 2-4 inches ) from the subject.

However, if the flame is blown from the top down, it will be easily extinguished.

: A flame, just like a thousand others, has now been extinguished, in a vast land rich in hopes.

In pre-English Reformation times it was known for a statue of the Virgin Mary, who held a candle whose flame never extinguished.

* The eternal flame near the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn in Estonia was extinguished after the country gained independence from the USSR in 1991.

* The Olympic Flame is a kind of eternal flame which is kept lit throughout the Olympic Games and extinguished after their closure every four years.

After the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy, Mrs Kennedy remembered the eternal flame at the Arc de Triomphe and requested that an eternal flame be placed next to her husband's grave at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia.

The radiation beam passes through this flame at its longest axis, and the flame gas flow-rates may be adjusted to produce the highest concentration of free atoms.

Desaga created slits for air at the bottom of the first cylindrical burner, the flame igniting at the top.

There are open slots in the side of the tube bottom to admit air into the stream via the venturi effect, and the gas burns at the top of the tube once ignited by a flame or spark.

If the collar at the bottom of the tube is adjusted so more air can mix with the gas before combustion, the flame will burn hotter, appearing blue as a result.

The grid separates the flame into an array of smaller flames with a common external envelope, and also prevents flashback to the bottom of the tube, which is a risk at high air-to-fuel ratios and limits the maximum rate of air intake in a conventional Bunsen burner.

Bulwer-Lytton's name lives on in the annual Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, in which contestants think-up terrible openings for imaginary novels, inspired by the first line of his novel Paul Clifford: It was a dark and stormy night ; the rain fell in torrents — except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets ( for it is in London that our scene lies ), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.

After it had reached the proper pressure, a valve connecting the tank with the swivel was opened and the mixture was discharged from its end, being ignited at its mouth by some source of flame.

Later technological improvements in machining technology enabled the devising of a pump mechanism discharging a stream of burning fluid ( flame thrower ) at close ranges, devastating wooden ships in naval warfare.

Indium ( III ) oxide is formed at hot temperatures during reaction between indium and oxygen, with blue flame.

According to the Talmud, at the re-dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem following the victory of the Maccabees over the Seleucid Empire, there was only enough consecrated oil to fuel the eternal flame in the Temple for one day.

The next year twin flames were added at either side are symbolic of the Hillsborough memorial outside Anfield, where an eternal flame burns in memory of those who died in the Hillsborough disaster.

Twin sparks provide two flame fronts within the cylinder, these two flame fronts decreasing the time needed for the fuel charge to burn, thereby burning more of the fuel at a lower temperature and pressure.

Higher octane fuel delays the time required for auto-ignition at a given temperature and pressure, reducing knock ; so by burning the fuel charge faster, two flame fronts can decrease an engine's octane requirement.

When sodium or its compounds are introduced into a flame, they turn it yellow, because the excited 3s electrons of sodium emit a photon when they fall from 3p to 3s ; the wavelength of this photon corresponds to the D line at 589. 3 nm.
