As a tire goes round and round heat builds up inside the heat expands the air inside the tire. On a normal day that he can dissipate but as the temperature on the outside increases is more difficult for the heat (energy) to leave the inside of the tire. As the temperature increases the pressure inside the tire also increases. It is that pressure that can cause the tire to explode.

Why aerosols should be kept at room temperature?

Because if it is significantly over or under room temp. it will explode


Did chernobyl explode like a bomb?

It did explode, but this was due to a surge in steam pressure which blew off the top of the reactor, it was not a nuclear explosion as in a nuclear weapon.


What explodes under low pressure?

Anything expandable/flexible will expand under low pressure. but in order for it to explode I guess you need to contain it within a relatively thin container made of stronger material. eg. balloon


Why do acorns explode when heated up?

The moisture in the acorn is also heated and that moisture begins to boil. Eventually contained in the shell of the nut the pressure builds until the nut shell can no longer contain it. This causes the nut to explode. Most people do not appreciate the explosive power of water. If you think of it why does a volcano explode? Some volcanoes explode with some of the most intense explosions on earth. These are all triggered by water in the volcano heating to incredible pressures. If you have ever seen a "pressure cooker" explode in a kitchen there the extra pressure is around 14 lbs/sq inch. The pressures in a volcano can be thousands of pounds per square inch.


What is 15 pounds pressure in autoclave?

Steam autoclave's work at 30 to 35 PSI, the previous answer of 15 PSI is for a pressure cooker. A pressure cooker cannot be used as an autoclave, the temperature is not high enough to cause sterilization. Anything less than 121C / 250F (30 PSI) is incapable of killing microorganisms. Also the pressure vesal of a pressure cooker cannot handle the added pressure needed to sterilize, IE: adding weight to the release valve will just cause the cooker to explode (so don't try it).

What would result from increasing the temperature of a gas in a container that cannot expand would it explode or stay solitary?

If the gas cannot expand, increasing its temperature would lead to an increase in pressure within the container. The container may rupture or explode if the pressure exceeds its capacity. It is important to control the temperature and pressure within the container to prevent such incidents.


Would a kernel explode if it were broken open at room temperature?

No, a kernel would not explode at room temperature if broken open. The term "explode" typically refers to a sudden release of energy or material, which is not a characteristic of a kernel breaking open at room temperature.


What causes a water heater to explode and how can it be prevented?

A water heater can explode due to pressure buildup from overheating or a malfunctioning pressure relief valve. To prevent this, regular maintenance, proper installation, and monitoring the temperature and pressure levels are important.


Will oxygen cans explode in space?

No, oxygen cans will not explode in space. They are designed to withstand fluctuations in pressure and temperature, so they are safe to use in space environments.
