Why are gases often times stored away from heated pipeline?
Expansion of gases at high temperature can be a cause of an explosion.
Can build up of sewer gases cause an explosion?
Yes, it contain methane.
What happens when you mix two gases?
- a mixture of gases is obtained - at a given temperature and a given ratio gas1/gas2 an explosion is possible
Is the sun liqid?
no, it's a constant explosion by gases known as helium, hydrogen. it is a fire, not a liquid.
Does internal combustion engines uses nuclear fusion?
No, the explosion of compressed gases powers internal combustion.
Why is gunpowder explosive?
gunpowder does not explode. it is very very flammable but since the gunpowder is inside of a cartridge or a shotgun shell the gases from the gunpowder build up inside the cartridge which shoots the projectile out of the cartridge
What can cause a explosion?
Any number things. An explosion is basically EXTREMELY rapid combustion. This could result from a combustible powder that is suspended in the air, flammable vapors or gases, or chemical explosives.
What is made during an explosion?
First you must know that fire needs fuel, oxygen, and heat. When this happens a lot of gases are released from the fuel. If this happens in a closed container the gases build up and store energy. When the container can't hold any more energy this is when an explosion occurs. Basicly an explosion is when a lot of energy is released.a explosion occurs when a time for a bomb is u or if gas or petrolatum leeks.In military explosion also occurs with the use of an EFP (explosively formed penetrator)
Why is silica rich magma explosive?
This is because silica-rich magma is thicker. The thicker the magma, the chance for the dissolved gas in there to escape is less likely. This causes an explosion. When the gases do escape, they cause an even bigger explosion
Why only nitrogen not other gases used in purging?
it is non flammable gas spark no explosion no fire. Added....Any of the intert gases are non flamable. Perhaps it's because Nitrogen is likely the cheaper and easier to produce than the other intert gases.
What causes a magma to be less viscous?
The main cause of an explosive volcano is the amount of gases trapped in the magma. If the gases have had time to escape, there will be less pressure built up resulting in a less vicious magma explosion.
Why is dynamite exploding soo descructive?
Nitroglycerin has a very high chemical energy which is released quickly in an explosion, by chemical decomposition with evolved gases.
