Control of fire
→
Lime burning
enables
Controlled high-temperature treatment allowed calcareous rock to be converted into usable binder raw materials. This describes a condition for material transformation, rather than asserting a single historical line of transmission.
Charcoal production
→
Control of fire
evolved from
Charcoal production extends controlled combustion into a controllable process for producing fuel.
Control of fire
→
Metal smelting
cross domain transfer
Control of combustion, temperature, and air supply transferred from the energy domain to the materials domain, giving rise to smelting processes for extracting metals from ores.
Steam engines
→
Control of fire
depends on
A steam engine uses the heat of combustion to heat a working fluid, then converts steam pressure into mechanical work.
