The blast effect of an explosive causes damage to the body- can include being crushed, thrown into things, having things thrown into you, etc. The high pressure can damage the soft parts of your body, such as your lungs, and you cannot breathe.

What are the differences between simple calorimeter and bomb calorimeter?

A simple calorimeter measures heat changes in a substance through temperature changes in water surrounding it, while a bomb calorimeter measures the heat of combustion of a substance by igniting it in a sealed chamber under high pressure. Bomb calorimeters are more precise and accurate than simple calorimeters, but they are also more complex and expensive to operate.


Why high pressure oxygen is used in bomb calorimeter?

There are 2 reasons for using high pressure oxygen in bomb calorimeter. The 1st is that we need enough oxygen for a complete combustion in a very small volume. To do that the oxidant pressure must be high. The typical air ratios in a bomb calorimeter are between 4 and 9. The 2nd reason is that we want to measure the high calorific value of a fuel. Thus the water produced from the combustion must be in liquid form. For a certain temperature, the higher the vapor pressure, the higher the liquid water percentage. So, the higher the total pressure (25 atm), the higher the partial vapor pressure. jimmer


Does a nuclear bomb turn people into dust?

A nuclear bomb can create extreme heat and pressure which can vaporize people near the blast site, turning them into dust. However, the effects of a nuclear bomb also include radiation exposure which can cause further harm and widespread destruction beyond the initial blast area.


What is oxygen bomb calorimeter?

An oxygen bomb calorimeter is a device used to measure the energy content of a sample by combusting it in a controlled environment and measuring the temperature change. The sample is sealed in a high-pressure vessel (the bomb) with oxygen, ignited, and the heat released is used to calculate the calorific value of the sample. This method is commonly used to determine the energy content of fuels and food.


Is a bug fogger and a bug bomb the same?

Yes, bug foggers and bug bombs are the same thing. They are aerosol cans that release insecticides to kill insects in an enclosed space.
