A smoke door is designed to prevent the spread of smoke during a fire, while a fire door is designed to resist fire and prevent its spread for a specified period of time. Fire doors are typically rated for a specific amount of time (e.g. 60 minutes), whereas smoke doors are designed to limit smoke transmission without a fire rating.
The smoke from a bonfire rises upwards due to the difference in temperature between the smoke and the surrounding air. As the hot smoke rises, it mixes with the cooler surrounding air, creating vertical movement. Additionally, the heat from the fire creates a convection current that helps propel the smoke upwards.
Smoke rises quickly because it is less dense than the surrounding air. As the smoke is heated, it becomes lighter and more buoyant, causing it to move upward due to the difference in densities between the smoke and the surrounding air. This creates a thermal draft that propels the smoke upwards.
There is a saying that where there is smoke, there is fire. This means that if there is evidence of something happening, then it is likely that there is a fire, or cause, for it. This saying can be applied to many situations in life. For example, if there is smoke coming from a building, it is likely that there is a fire inside. If there is smoke coming from a car, it is likely that the engine is on fire. In both of these cases, the smoke is evidence of a fire, or cause.
Convection is the heat transfer process responsible for causing smoke to rise from a fire. As air near the fire gets heated, it becomes less dense and rises, carrying the smoke along with it.
Smoke tends to follow you around a campfire because of the way air currents are created and the heat rising from the fire. As you move, the air currents can carry the smoke in your direction. Additionally, your movement can disrupt the natural flow of air around the fire, causing the smoke to shift towards you.
Fire rated doors comply with certain standards (NFPA 80) and building codes so that the door functions to reduce the spread of fire and smoke.
the fire door is usually rigged with an alarm that in some cases immediately calls the fire department
(ZHLS) :- Zero Helogen Low Smoke. (FRLS) :- Fire Retardant Low Smoke.
FR --> Fire Retardant FRLS-->Fire Retardant low smoke When ever wire gets fire Fr wire emit more smoke where as FRLS wire emits low smoke than the FR wires...
A front door is usually at the front of a house. The back door is kind of like a fire exit at the back of the house.
B-15 door has insulation that in case of fire can hold temperature raise up to 15 minutes. B-0 door doesn't have insulation.
its the frame on the door at the bottom which under the circumstances would block out smoke in the case of a fire :)
Yes

It has to be a fire rated door.
you use fire doors for when there is fire . fire door is for stop a smoke and fire for a few minuts for get people out and firer man to come and stop fire by water for stop fire not become bigger.
Assuming your question relates to life safety in building construction, and not to parts of a wood burning device- Smoke dampers are intended to limit the movement of smoke within a building, or section of a building. They are not intended to inhibit FLAME spread. A fire damper will inhibit smoke movement, but is also insulated to stop fire. A simple smoke damper might be light weight sheet metal- but that is not enough to stop very high temprature. A fire damper is heavier, may be insulated, built of fire resistive material, etc.
