Too much grain dust.
A spark in grain dust will create a 'flash'. There by an explosion.
In coal mines, miners referred to 'fire damp' . This is a mixture of very fine coal dust particles, methane and oxygen. A spark across it would cause a big explosion.
Miners tested for 'fire damp' using canaries (birds). Canaries are very sensative to atmospheric changes. In a coal mine if 'fire damp' is prersent the canary would possibly faint and fall off its perch, until restored to clean oxygen(air).
Have you ever seen the 'custard tin' explosion. The very fine particles of custard powder, could be ignited and blow the lid off the tin.
What else can I help you with?
Where did the energy for the grain explosion come from?
The energy for the grain explosion comes from the dust's minimum explosive concentration (MEC), a measurement of particle size and energy nature. Most explosions occur at grain transfer points.
when potassium is added to water what causes explosion?
When potassium is added to water, it reacts exothermically with the water to produce potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The rapid production of hydrogen gas in the reaction causes an explosion due to the build-up of pressure from the gas release.
A dynamite explosion converts chemical energy to?
Mechanical energy (Blast waves) and thermal energy (Heat)
Is TNT explosion a chemical property?
No, an explosion is a physical property that results from the release of stored energy. The chemical property of TNT is its ability to undergo rapid decomposition in a highly exothermic reaction, leading to the release of gas and heat that causes the explosion.
How does hydrogen gas cause explosion on nuclear reactors?
In a nuclear reactor, hydrogen gas can be produced as a byproduct of the reaction. If the hydrogen gas mixes with oxygen in the presence of a spark or flame, it can ignite and cause an explosion due to its highly flammable nature. This phenomenon, known as a hydrogen explosion, can result in damage to the reactor containment and pose a risk to the reactor's integrity.
