What is a three dimensional fire?

Three-dimensional Class B Fires. A three-dimensional Class B fire involves Class B materials in motion such as pouring, running or dripping flammable liquids and generally includes vertical as well as one or more horizontal surfaces. Fires of this nature are considered to be a special hazard. Class B fires are those involving flammable (gasoline, alcohol) and combustible (diesel, oil, tar, grease) liquids.

notch is the device used for the measurement of the rate of flow of liquids through small channels at tanks where as orifice is used to measure rate of flow through pipes

How do find volume?

If it is a regular solid, meaning all of the sides of the 3 dimensional figure are flat, then you measure and multiply length, width, and height. However, most objects are not regular solids (such as grapes or hands, etc.), so you can follow these steps: 1) pour water into some sort of container that measures the volume of liquids 2) put the object in the water (the entire object must be under water) 3) subtract the difference between the volume of the water before and after the object was put under water. If you do not want to get your precious items wet, you can use the following steps: 1) find the mass of the object 2) if you happen to know the density object, which is unlikely considering the fact that you do not know the volume of the object, then find it 3) divide mass/density

Why do liquids have a tendency to acquire minimum surface area?

The molecules in a liquid (such as water) are attracted to each other by electrostatic force. As a result, they stick together, not to the extent that a solid does, but to some extent, and this causes them to contract into compact shapes when possible.
