Fire: Fire is a phenoena of chemical process which occurs
when a fuel(source) gets ignited by heat(Motivator) and
cotinues in presence oxygen(sustainer).
** when a fire occurs the resultant products are smoke,
heat and light.
Smoke detectors: Smoke detectors detects the presence of
smoke and initiates an change in circuit to trigger an
alarm/smoke presence.
There are basically two main types of smoke detector used
for smoke detection they are (a) Ionisation type and (b)
Optic type(poto electric).
Fire Detectors: Detects the presence of Light, They come in
varieties in sensing elements such as LDR, Poto diode, etc..
When comes to the area of hydrocarbon fires, these fuels
have an tendency to emit ultraviolet(UV) and Infrared (IR)
light frequency wave lengths. so where UV, ir, UV/ir
detectors are used.
In Breif: Fire Detector detects the light and Smoke
detectors detcts the presence of smoke.

Explain the mechanism behind the turbine meter.
Calculate the maximum pressure drop that can be allowed to occur across a control valve, so that we can prevent cavitation / flashing from occurring. Use the following formula: Δ P allow = Km (P1 – PvapourA) where, Δ P allow - the maximum allowable differential pressure for sizing purposes, or terminal pressure drop; Km- the valve recovery coefficient from the manufacturer’s catalogue; P1 - absolute inlet fluid pressure; PvapourA - absolute fluid vapour pressure at the inlet temperature; Use Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa, P1 = 1200 kPa(g), PvapourA = 4 kPa, KM = 0.72
