On February 3, 2021, a gas explosion damaged a home in Springfield, Virginia, and injured three people. [50] On February 17, 2021, a gas explosion demolished a house in Manchester, England. 1 person lost their life and 2 others were injured. [citation needed] On May 4, 2021, a gas explosion demolished a house in Willesborough, England. 7 people ...
Unless it breaks the water surface while still a hot gas bubble, an underwater nuclear explosion leaves no trace at the surface but hot, radioactive water rising from below. This is always the case with explosions deeper than about 2,000 ft (610 m). [6] About one second after such an explosion, the hot gas bubble collapses because:
Explosion of unserviceable ammunition and other military items The explosion of the Castle Bravo nuclear bomb. An explosion is a rapid expansion in volume of a given amount of matter associated with an extreme outward release of energy , usually with the generation of high temperatures and release of high-pressure gases .
The massive explosion at the Sandman Signature Hotel in downtown Fort Worth, suspected as a gas leak, may be part of a worsening trend across the US. Gas leak explosions are happening more often ...
In some forms of thermonuclear weapons, the energy from this explosion is then used to implode a capsule of fusion fuel before igniting it, causing a fusion reaction (see Teller–Ulam design). In general, the use of radiation to implode something, as in a hydrogen bomb or in laser driven inertial confinement fusion , is known as radiation ...
The phenomenon is exploited in pulse detonation engines, because a detonation produces a more efficient combustion of the reactants than a deflagration does, i.e. giving a higher yields. Such engines typically employ a Shchelkin spiral in the combustion chamber to facilitate the deflagration to detonation transition.
A cut natural gas line was found in a basement area of an Ohio building which was severely damaged by a massive explosion this week, the National Transportation Safety Board reported Thursday, but ...
If saturated LNG contacts liquid water (e.g. sea water, which has an average temperature of 15 °C), heat is transferred from the water to the LNG, rapidly vaporizing it. This results in an explosion because the volume occupied by natural gas in its gaseous form is 600 times greater than when its liquefied; this is the phenomenon of rapid phase ...
