       Database: Fire heat/temperature estimation

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Sometimes we want to calculate the heat or temperature of a fire
       or explosion. This is a common and very useful calculation type,
       and there are several methods.
       Color:
       To estimate temperature by color, just see what color the flame
       is. Then take a look at a flame color chart like this one
  HTML https://www.cityfire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/city-fire-temperature.png.<br
       />
       This method is very simple but also somewhat unreliable
       (usually only perhaps 7/10). Flame color charts sometimes differ
       a bit from each other—this one

       />is slightly different from this one

       Destruction/melting:
       This is essentially the same as the Destruction Method
  HTML https://rodentwarsnet.createaforum.com/database/database-explosion-yield-calculations/msg326/#msg326<br
       />for explosions. There are a couple ways to approach it:
       [list type=decimal]
       [li]You can look at how many kg of a given substance it
       melted/vaporized. For how to do this, click here
  HTML https://rodentwarsnet.createaforum.com/database/database-explosion-yield-calculations/msg326/#msg326.[/li]
       [li]Use this method
  HTML https://sciencing.com/calculate-joules-heat-8205329.html:
       heat
       (in joules) = mass of object (in kg) × change in temperature (in
       Celcius) × specific heat capacity of material (in kJ/kg K). It
       is superior to the first for smaller levels of destruction.[/li]
       [/list] However, the destruction/melting methods only give
       answers for heat, not temperature.
