Gasoline explode

Fire or explosion hazards require special motor enclosures. Hazards include combustible gases and vapors such as gasoline dust such as coal, flour, or metals that can explode when suspended in air and fibers such as textile lint. The land of motor enclosure used depends on the type of hazard, the type and size of motor, and the probability of a hazardous condition occurring. Some available enclosures are explosionproof motors, which can withstand an internal explosion force-ventilated motors cooled with air from a safe location and totallv enclosed motors cooled bv air-to-water heat exchangers and pressurized with safe air, instrument air, or inert gas,... 

This term is used to describe oils that have a flash point above ambient temperature. They will therefore not burn or explode at ambient temperature but will do so when hot. Unfortunately many people do not realize this and treat heavy oils with a disrespect that they would never apply to gasoline, as shown by the incidents described below. Another incident was described in Section 12.2 (c). Heavy oils are widely used as fuel oils, solvents, lubricants, and heat transfer oils, as well as process materials. 

When he was about to replace the cap on the end of the filler pipe, a spark jumped from the cap to the pipe, and a flame appeared on the end of the pipe. It was soon extinguished. The flame could not travel back into the gasoline tank. The mixture of vapor and air in the tank was too rich to explode. 

On December 18, 1978, a tank truck filled with LPG exploded after It caught fire during a transfer to the storage tank of a gasoline station. The accident resulted in destruction of the truck and the gasoline station. 

The gasoline automobile is developed by German engineer Karl Friedrich Benz. Before this, gasoline was an unwanted fraction of petroleum that caused many house fires because of its tendency to explode when placed in kerosene lamps. 

Interaction of chlorine with methane is explosive at ambient temperature over yellow mercury oxide [1], and mixtures containing above 20 vol% of chlorine are explosive [2], Mixtures of acetylene and chlorine may explode on initiation by sunlight, other UV source, or high temperatures, sometimes very violently [3], Mixtures with ethylene explode on initiation by sunlight, etc., or over mercury, mercury oxide or silver oxide at ambient temperature, or over lead oxide at 100°C [1,4], Interaction with ethane over activated carbon at 350°C has caused explosions, but added carbon dioxide reduces the risk [5], Accidental introduction of gasoline into a cylinder of liquid chlorine caused a slow exothermic reaction which accelerated to detonation. This effect was verified [6], Injection of liquid chlorine into a naphtha-sodium hydroxide mixture (to generate hypochlorite in situ) caused a violent explosion. Several other incidents involving violent reactions of saturated hydrocarbons with chlorine were noted [7],... 

With the right arc inside the engine cylinder, water will expand very quickly pushing the piston down with more force than gasoline can. This is not a steam reaction and the hydrogen does not have to explode to achieve the reaction needed. I did it with 110 volts at 20 amps per cylinder. I have placed some files in the photo section here. 

Inside a gasoline engine the air and gas are compressed to somewhere between 85 psi and 180 psi in most engines. When the piston is just past TDC the plug fires and the gases explode as the carbon components superheat under pressure. 

Let us assume that octane (CsHis) burns explosively (gasoline certainly can) and that rubbing alcohol (C3H7OH) does, too. Which will explode more violently on the basis of gas expansion on complete burning ... 

BMW tested its hydrogen tanks in a series of collisions that caused both fire and tank ruptures. In most of these tests, H2 was found to be safer than gasoline or diesel fuels. The simulated 55-mph crash tests left the cars totaled, but the newly designed hydrogen tanks remained intact. Although pressurized hydrogen tanks could explode, enormous impact forces would be required and, therefore, they are reasonably safe. 

The rupture of the top of the gasoline tank caused the contents to be blown out and explode, and four tanks (2 for gasoline, 1 for kerosene, and 1 for diesel oil) caught fire. Eleven tanks were moved by the seismic wave, most irreparably damaged 4 21. ...
