high temperature due to the reciprocating movement of the piston,
increase in bearing temperatures,
sparks entering the crankcase due to leaky piston rings or piston blow past,
fires in the adjacent scavenge trunks.
Now, when these hot spots come in contact with the oil in the crankcase, the oil gets vaporised. When these vaporised particles travel to the cooler part of the crankcase they get condensed into a white mist which has oil particles properly dispensed in it. The process that takes place is some what similar to atomization. This white mist when again travels to the hot spot area, can easily catch fire, which might also lead to an explosion. The fire or the explosion create immense pressure inside the crankcase and if this pressure crosses the permissible limit, crankcase explosion takes place. The explosion will rupture the crankcase doors and even cause heavy damage to the inside of the engine.

How a engine capacities is calculted?
The engine capacity is calculated by measuring the size of a crankcase. The crankcase is the space that holds the pistons.
What ohm reading should you have on a crankcase heater?
The ohm reading on a crankcase heater can vary depending on the specific model and manufacturer. However, a common range for a properly functioning crankcase heater is typically between 5 to 30 ohms. It is important to refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the specific heater being tested to ensure accuracy and proper functioning of the equipment.
Can switchboard explosion cause short circuit?
A short circuit is what usually causes a switchboard explosion.
What types of programming languages have the most instruction explosion?
Programming languages differ in the degree of instruction explosion. Even different types of statements within a language vary in the degree of instruction explosion. In general, statements describing mathematical computation have low instruction explosion (10:1 or less), while statements describing I/O operation have high instruction explosion (100:1 or more).

What are the causes of crankcase explosion?
Crankcase explosions are typically caused by the accumulation of flammable gases, such as unburned fuel or oil vapors, within the engine's crankcase. These gases can ignite due to high temperatures or electrical sparks, often exacerbated by mechanical failures like worn seals or gaskets, which allow oil to leak and vaporize. Additionally, poor ventilation or excessive oil contamination can increase the risk of explosive conditions. Regular maintenance and monitoring of engine components can help mitigate these risks.
