Summary

Where the extinguishing mechanisms of water mist act on a fire. Based on Mawhinney and Back (2002), pp. 4-313 to 4-314.

Original vector illustration for Extinguishing mechanisms, level 2 Intermediate.

Source basis: Mawhinney and Back (2002), p. 4-313 (primary and secondary mechanisms, gas phase cooling) and p. 4-314 (oxygen depletion and dilution, surface wetting, radiation attenuation)
Alt text: Pool fire under water mist with labels for gas phase cooling in the flame, steam diluting oxygen, wetting of the fuel surface and radiation attenuation.
