Based on Drysdale (2002), p. 1-97 and Mawhinney and Back (2002), p. 4-313.<br /> <br /> Original illustration for [[Flame extinction]], level 4 Expert.<br /> <br /> * Source basis: Drysdale (2002), p. 1-97 (limit when heat losses exceed heat production; 1,600 ± 100 K); Mawhinney and Back (2002), p. 4-313 (limiting adiabatic flame temperature about 1,600 K; no need to cool to ambient)<br /> * Alt text: Sketch of flame temperature falling as more heat is removed; the flame goes out where the line crosses a dashed limit at about 1,600 K.<br /> <br /> == Licensing ==<br /> New drawing by Fire Safety Academy. © Fire Safety Academy.</div>
