Document Summary
Sudden release of a large amount of energy4. In the form of blast waves failure. Science. expansion of gas and vaporization of solids. Types: atomic explosions, eletrical explosions- electric arcing causes great heat leading to rrapid, mechanical explosion - caused by rapid change of state (liquid to vapour) Bleve - fire under a propane tank raised the pressure to point of explosive. Bleve experiment by queen"s university faculty of engineering and applied: chemical explosions. Generation of large quantities of gas, usually exothermic reaction (gives of. A chemical containing a high amount of potential energy. Is capable of undergoing extremely rapid chemical reaction, no external reactants are required (e. g. atmospheric oxygen) heat), shock and loud noise accompany explosions be combined in one molecule. Most explosives are combination of one or more fuels with an oxidizer. The fuel and oxidizer can be an intimate mechanical mixture, or they can. Black powered is the classic mechanical mixture explosive.
