Yes, the term most frequently encountered for the catastrophic failure of a compressed gas cylinder that results from overheating is BLEVE (rhymes with Chevy: acronym for "boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion"). The term more accurately describes the explosion of a non-pressure-rated container, such as a drum or tank, during a fire.
BLEVEs can happen but typically, the overpressure (blow-out) disk releases pressure before the wall of the cylinder fails. Contamination of the tank with combustible materials, such as grease, could result in a detonation during filling.
Mechanical damage to the cylinder more frequently results in turning the cylinder into a projectile propelled by the gas escaping through the broken valve. Unusual situations such as accidentally striking an arc on the tank wall with a welder or unwittingly filling a tank that had been painted using a heat-curing process that weakens the cylinder walls could result in an explosive failure.
Oxygen, itself, is not an explosive though.Explosives are technically those substances that produce supersonic shock waves when detonated. Oxygen gas would be an oxidizer.
Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen. Because when you blow on the coals you are adding oxygen to the fire and oxygen fuels a fire. A fire would simply go out without any oxygen.
light a match and blow on it. What happens? (only with adult supervision) Only the lack of oxygen puts out a fire, wind fans the flame. Blow slowly and the match stays lit. A quick blow displaces the oxygen with your carbon dioxide. Oil well fires are put out by an explosion using up all the oxygen,
No
No, it is not possible to blow up Uranus. Uranus is a gas giant made mostly of hydrogen and helium, and it lacks the necessary conditions for an explosion to occur.
They do not. All green plants make oxygen. Something else growing in there is using up oxygen.
No, they simply pass air over a heating element to warm it. They don't use up any oxygen.
it will blow up!
Lol trying to blow up the ocean
did not blow up
Mercury did not blow up.
You get a bomb then blow it up! But why?
how to blow up a bloon
Helium is most often used to inflate balloons. Any compressed air would work, though, so Oxygen could be used, I suppose.
blow-up is definitely the wrong word. There would be a very slow oxidation as the temperature there is not high enough to initiate the chain-combustion of ----anything. If you were to put oxygen into the atmosphere of Titan it would be there for a few hundred years before it was all gone.
When you blow out a candle, you disrupt the balance between the oxygen supply and the fuel (wax) being consumed by the flame. When you remove the oxygen by blowing, the flame no longer has the necessary element to sustain itself, causing it to extinguish.
You can blow it up by breathing and sucking
NO if you tried you will blow UP!!!!!!!!!BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
