AI Thread Summary
Magnesium has the highest flame temperature when burned in air, surpassing potassium. While potassium is more reactive than magnesium, it does not achieve a higher flame temperature. The reactivity series indicates that as one moves from magnesium to potassium, the burning reactivity increases. However, this increased reactivity does not correlate with higher flame temperatures. Understanding these properties is essential for applications involving combustion and chemical reactions.

which one has strong burning flame temperature in air. ..potassium or

for what I know magnesium has the highest flame temperature..but most of books I read that from magnesium to potassium will increase the reactive buning element in air ... same in series reactive table...for oxygen reaction

Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the water, and the rest is thermally insulated by styrofoam. This creates an imbalance in the agitation: the cold side of the water "shrinks," so that the hot side pushes the cylinders toward the cold...
