City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 2019 Engineering Question 30
Practice objective / multiple choice question 30 from the 2019 City Guilds Model Questions Vol1 Engineering examination.
A workshop uses a solvent whose flash point is exactly \(23^{\circ}\)C. According to safety regulations, a liquid is classified as *flammable* if its flash point is below \(23^{\circ}\)C and as *combustible* if the flash point is between \(23^{\circ}\)C and \(60^{\circ}\)C inclusive. The workshop experiences a spill of \(15\) L of this solvent. For a combustible liquid the required extinguishing water volume is ten times the spill volume, while for a flammable liquid it is five times. Determine the classification of the solvent and the minimum water volume (in litres) needed to control the spill.
