What is Fire Point, Smoke Point, Freezing Point, Dew Point, Flash Point, Pour Point, Boiling Point, Bubble Point?

# Fire Point :-  The lowest temperature at which the vapor of that fuel will continue to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition by an open flame. #Smoke Point:-   The temperature at which, under specific and defined conditions, an oil begins to produce a continuous bluish smoke that becomes clearly visible. #Freezing Point:-  The temperature at which water changes phase from a liquid to a solid. # Dew Point:-   T he temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor. # Flash Point:-  T he lowest temperature at which enough fluid can  evaporate to form a combustible concentration of gas. #Pour Point:- The lowest temperature at which the oil will pour or flow when it is cooled without stirring. #Boiling Point:-   The temperature at which the vapor pressure of a liquid is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere on the liquid. #Bubble Point:-   The temperature wh...

What is Critical Point,Surge point,Yield point,Aniline point,Triple Point,Melting Point,Auto ignition Point?

#Critical Point:-   A point on a phase the diagram at which both the liquid and gas phases of a substance have the same density, and are therefore indistinguishable. # Surge point:-   ( For Rotating Equipments) , the peak point at the Performance Curve of the Centrifugal Compressors where the flow reversed back through compressors blades.  # Yield point:-   In mechanical engineering, the load at which a solid material that is being stretched begins to flow, or change shape permanently. # Aniline point:-  The lowest temperature at which aniline and a solvent (as gasoline) are completely miscible and which serves as an indication of the type of hydrocarbons present in the solvent, the content of aromatics being higher according to as the temperature is lower. # Triple Point:-   The temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of that substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibri...
