Question

If you pulled out the smoke from a fire, would it burn hotter?

In: Physics

Answer 1

Are you replacing it with fresh air?

If you suck out the smoke and replace it with fresh air then there’s more oxygen to react and it should burn fire. Most furnaces and even chimneys work because of this.

If you replace it with something other than fresh air then there’s a good chance of killing the fire. There are CO2 fire extinguishers that do this.

If you just suck it away in say a vacuum chamber or in space then the fire will die fast.
