Mr Gopala the Goebel has one mode operation of revealing more of
his ignorance. What was his question? WHY CAN'T WE BURN WATER (LIKE OIL
PETROL ETC)
1 He writes only in iyer for 20 people; why does he seek his
lamentations elsewhere? Did not someone ask a similar question some time
back? What was Gopal doing then? OK Let it be. Who seeks what is known
here with Gopala lamentations.
2 Now what was his answer and what was his question and what did he
mean it or in it?
He asked why water cannot be used as a fuel like petrol. Correct?
But what was his intent in the question? Why can't water be burnt? Can
you tell the difference? Who said water cannot be burnt? And who also said
water cannot become a fuel too for which I gave only a partial answer; but
water is being used as a fuel to run the engine. What I wrote:
"Definition of fuel is any substance that can provide heat and produce
energy when it is burned. This energy that releases is generally in the
form of chemical energy or heat energy. Delivery of the heat depends on the
system used. In a hot water system, water is heated and circulated through
radiators or baseboards. In a steam system, water is heated until it
becomes steam, which then rises through pipes to radiators. And with a warm
air system, air (instead of water) is heated and a blower sends the heated
air through heating ducts to heating vents. Of a fire produces flames and
heat while consuming a material such as coal or wood: “a fire burned and
crackled cheerfully in the grate” CONSUMPTION OF SOMETHING CHANGES THE
ENERGY AS SOMETHING ELSE.
Fire requires three things to keep it going: fuel, oxygen and
a heat source. Rather than fight the fire directly, the water acts on the
fuel. Water actually makes it harder for the fuel — whether it's wood,
brush or a building — to keep burning. When wood is burning, the heat of
the fire is actually vaporizing substances in the wood, turning them to
gas, which then fuels the fire. If you douse the wood in water, the fire
must be hot enough to vaporize the water and the wood. Because of water's
high heat capacity, it takes a lot of energy or heat to vaporize water. If
the flame spends its energy trying to vaporize the water, it has less
energy to spend on heating the fuel. As the water absorbs the heat, the
fuel is cooled. And if the flame can't heat up the fuel enough to vaporize
it, the flame can't feed itself — so it will dissipate. Yes water has
oxygen; but no fuel to consume and heat up."
3 Fire needs as fuel 3 things: fuel, (water) , Oxygen (yes water has and
it is not already oxidised and burnt out and remaining only as Co2) and
heat source. Is that water a HEAT SOURCE IS THE QUESTION AND NOT ALREADY
OXIDISED AS WRITTEN BY SOME FOOL AS HE MAY BELIEVE ANYONE AS GREAT AS HE
SEES ONLY IN HIS LEVEL OF IGNOMINY AND AND IGNORANCE. Because water has
high heat capacity, the fire to use it as a fuel requires a lot of energy,
unlike phosphorus fire has less energy on heating the fuel water so unlike
the rest , water is not a fuel. Samje Gopala? You were and are wrong
always, Again read your lord's and yours again. If the flame spends all
energy in vaporising early,it has less energy only, to catch up the heat
source, water. So Water is not a fuel like petrol and oil. And water is a
fuel sir actually, as a heat source as it has oxygen, and where the water
(heavy water also are you aware of it?) can burn as heat energy and be used
differently. I am not brilliant but you are so poor . And you people
should write but all the fence sitters allow him to lAMENT AND I HAVE TO
WRITE. pEOPLE WHO ALWAYS THINK THEY ALONE SHALL BE WRITING AS SMART AND NO
ONE SHALL CHARGE IT WITH CONSTRUCTION FURTHER ALONE EITHER LAMENT OR SAY
NIC PUIC ETC.
4 Others cherish and enjoy as well read alone can appreciate the
well read. Google search or chat GOT or NS or others will not provide
answers convenient to you or even correct one as the verification of the
answer must only be done by your intelligence. So compared to Quora ,
Google is intelligent; but how you frame your question alone gets it right
or else what is in your mind , it cannot be read. Google is not GOD. And
only villains join; but you others are sitting pretty over the fence
because you like to watch only WWW fights. K Rajaram IRS 4724
