Fire consists of fuel, light, and gases produced by combustion. Most flames contain carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, and oxygen. Incomplete combustion produces soot containing mainly carbon. Fire can occur without oxygen using different oxidizers like chlorine
Both are blood derivatives lacking blood cells and clotting factors. Both contain proteins, drugs, hormones, toxins, and electrolytes. Can be separated from blood by centrifugation
Nonthermal plasma operates at or near atmospheric pressure. Electrons are much hotter than heavy species (ions and neutrals). Mercury-vapor gas in fluorescent lamps is a common example
Vaporization is the phase transition from liquid to vapor. Evaporation occurs on the surface below boiling temperature. Boiling forms vapor bubbles below liquid surface. Sublimation directly transitions from solid to gas without liquid phase
In dynamical systems, instability means outputs or states increase without bounds. Structural beams become unstable with excessive compressive load. Atmospheric instability is a major component of Earth's weather systems
Plasma is a gaseous substance containing free charged particles. It is highly electrically conductive and responds strongly to electromagnetic fields. Up to 99% of the visible universe is plasma. Plasma can be neutral gas-like clouds or charged ion beams
