| Abstract | An explosion is a physical or chemical phenomenon in which energy is released in a very short time, usually accompanied by formation and vigorous expansion of a very large amount of hot gas: 1) Mechanical explosions are caused by the sudden breaking of a vessel containing gas under pressure. 2) Chemical explosions are caused by decomposition or very rapid reaction of a product or a mixture. 3) Nuclear explosions are caused by fission or fusion of atomic nuclei. 4) Electrical explosions are caused by sudden strong electrical currents that volatilize metal wire (exploding wire). Only chemical explosions are treated in this article. |
