It's not really explosive. It's flammable. At optimal concentrations along with oxygen, any flammable substance will burn so quickly that an explosion is given off - it acts as a run-away train reaction and quickly burns all the available fuel. Dust from grain isn't considered explosive or even flammable by most but it can explode giant silos under certain conditions. Pressure explosions are also common in which pressure generated from the combustion of a fuel bursts the container. This is what happens in a combustion chamber inside an engine, forcing the piston down and transferring energy.

What is emulsion slurry explosive?
It is a jelly type explosive that can be pumped into holes in rock for blasting. It is an emulsion (where two things that don't usually mix are mixed- like oil and water) It consists of an oxidizer and a fuel, mixed into a water base. It is a safe and economical explosive for mining and mass excavations in construction. May also be called a "water gel".
What are the hazards in petrochemical industry?
exposure to toxic substances and explosive situations causes hazards in petrochemical industry.
What is the need of Purging in boiler?
purging is a cleaning process which cleans explosive items in air,flue gas path if any.
What is ASTM distillation?
This is one of the testing methods for gasoline and is also called Engler distillation. The whole method is based on the determination of boiling point by performing batch distillation. Boiling point is important for the safety and performance of solvents and fuels. It gives the composition, properties and behavior of fuel. Carrying out batch distillation also determines the volatility which majorly shows the tendency of hydrocarbons to produce explosive vapours. This also tells us the application in different industries depending upon the various temperature behavior of the fuel. Boiling point according to the standards limits distillation based on the product specification.
How do you calculate heat load for thermic fluid heter fuel to heat load?
It is easy to calculate Heat load if you know fuel Consumption in Heater. e.g -- If you are using Furnace Oil as Fuel and u are consuming 1000 Kg per day Then Heat Load per day will be = Calorific Value of FO x Fuel Consumption
When you mix fire with creamer. What happens?
an explosive fuel to ignite
What is Ammonium nitrate validity as explosive?
Ammonium nitrate is not explosive, it is an effective oxidizer. Mix it with a fuel and you have explosive.
What is the oxidizer component of a fuel-air explosive?
The oxidizer component of a fuel-air explosive is typically the air itself, which provides the necessary oxygen for combustion. When the fuel is dispersed in the air in the right ratio, it forms an explosive mixture that can be ignited to create a powerful explosion.
What is the fuel of a hand grenade?
An explosive powder that is no longer used.
Is nitro an explosive?
nitro is an explosive if added to other substance like nitro fuel which the nitro adds more octane for a bigger explosion except that nitro fuel has oil in it to lube the engine
Why are people worried about using hydrogen as a fuel?
Because it is highly explosive
Is a fae a bomb?
Yes a Fuel Air Explosive is a bomb, but a very odd one. A Fuel Air Explosive can have the highest possible yield of any deliverable conventional weapon.The bomb casing is just a large liquid fuel tank with fuse and a fuel atomizer unit (to create a fuel mist). When the fuse determines it should go off it activates the atomizer spraying all the fuel out forming a fuel mist that mixes with air. Then the fuse ignites the fuel, which explodes.The first Fuel Air Explosive was used in Vietnam, a bomb called the Daisy Cutter, was designed to create instant helicopter landing zones in dense jungle.
What is called the device used in engines to produce efficient explosive vapor of fuel and air?
carburetter
What happens when you mix amonium nitrate with disel fuel?
When ammonium nitrate is mixed with diesel fuel, it can create a dangerous explosive combination. The mixture is known as ANFO (ammonium nitrate/fuel oil) and is commonly used in mining and demolition industries as an explosive. It is highly sensitive to shock or heat and should be handled with extreme caution.
What is Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil Explosive?
I only know of it being either a fertilizer used in agriculture or explosive used in mining. I believe they both look similar (small round balls) but are of different grades with the mining grade being more refined and expensive. The mixture is an emulsion similar in character to mayonaise. It requires a high explosive detonator to realy the potential energy. The AN for explosives is called "prill" and only differs from the fertilizer by be manufactured to make the surface porous so the Fuel Oil can become intergarated intothe structure of the prill for increased explosive power.
Is gasoline more explosive than gas?
In general gasoline is not more explosive then gas although it depends on the conditions and the gas. Probably you are referring to natural gas, the gas piped into homes which is predominantly methane. In general flammable gasses are more explosive than flammable liquids because they are mixed up with atmospheric oxygen. This is why modern cars have fuel injection which sprays the petrol to make it more easily combustible. In fact liquid petrol is not explosive at all but because it is volatile a layer of vapour forms above the surface of the liquid which is explosive. The mix of fuel and oxygen is the critical factor in whether something is explosive. Some gases, such as the noble gases are not flammable at all.
What features of the fuel rods used in reactors prevent them from becoming explosive?
They absorb electrons, the more you insert the fuel rods, the more electrons are removed from the chain reaction.
