Boiling liquid compressed bubble explosion

Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) or boiling liquid compressed bubble explosion (BLCBE), discussed in Section 2.5.3 and in Guidelines for Evaluating the Characteristics of Vapor Cloud Explosions, Flash Fires, and BLEVEs (CCPS, 1994). 

A Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion, or BLEVE, is an industrial event related to the laboratory bump occasioned when the inadequately mixed bottom of a vessel of liquid becomes superheated, then explosively boils. In the industrial version, rupture of a pressurised container is usually involved. Although strictly speaking a non-reactive physical hazard, chemical fires and explosions, with fatalities, often follow. Means of estimating risk and prevention, with a fist of incidents are given[l], A more ferocious version, the Boiling Liquid Compressed Bubble...
