The problem of explosion
Thread Content
What harm can there be if cold water is suddenly added to a 500-degree hot air duct?
Could an explosion occur? What are the possible reasons?
Water turns into water vapor, and its volume increases by a factor of thousands. Don’t you think that’s amazing?
To your answer, I can only laugh.
I suggest you conduct a trial and buy insurance in advance. ;P Also, please reply on the corresponding floor so that others can see it~ Feel free to participate actively in the event. ““Spending Money” Fun Chemical Engineering ★★ Hot New Arrival ★★ Season 2 of [Chemical Engineering Processes]: “Weird vs. Wonderful” Design Sharing Event http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1419966-1-1.html
At 500°C, it doesn’t necessarily explode even without adding water or any treatment…
Experiments are not easy to conduct; be careful about safety!
It depends on the relationship between their heat levels; too little water will cause vaporization, while too much water can cool it down instantly.
Over 500 degrees – the possibility of it not exploding when cooled with water is low
Cold water vaporizes rapidly, increasing the air volume in the ducts; if overpressure occurs, an explosion is very likely
It is not advisable. If it is a sealed container, it is similar to the danger of adding water to a boiler or dry pot after it has been heated.
