Chemical Reactions And Double Explosion

By Haywwod Hunter


Occurrence of a double explosion causes fire that result to great destruction of property and can degrade the environment. Double explosion occurs when there is a primary blast and then a secondary blast which is caused by different natural or artificial factors. The factors consist of blasts caused by eruptions of volcanic mountains and blasts that occur on celestial bodies like stars and asteroids.



There are reported cases of astronomical double explosion that occur in the space and the solar system. These astronomical blasts normally happen to stars like gamma ray bursts and in case of double explosion, it can cause death or deformation of stars. Additionally, solar flares are examples of blasts to the body mass of the sun and also the sun surface.

Other forms of blasts are caused by artificial applications that involve chemical reactions that lead to aggressive oxidation. These reactions result in the production of large amounts of hot gases and blasts. There are different explosive materials that cause double explosion and they include gunpowder used in making firearms, dynamite used to break barriers and nitrocellulose that is a highly flammable compound.



Electricity use plays an important role in homes, schools, hospitals, industries and companies. This means that most people rely on electricity that is associated with secondary flames that occur due to fault in electricity wiring which leads to exploding of various electronic devices that cause fire. Additionally, applying a lot of pressure to electromagnets may cause double explosion with the primary fire having minimal impact while the double explosion causing great damage to workshops.

Mechanical blasts are also very dangerous and they occur mainly in industries dealing with boiling of certain liquids using large sealed containers. A lot of energy is produced by mixing and heating different chemicals in a sealed boiler that causes massive reaction and may explode if not well monitored. Cases of twin blasts occur when vessels containing the pressurized liquids burst due to chemical reactions and are exposed to external factors like heat that cause double explosion that has greater damage.

Nuclear power is a reliable source of energy to many developed countries but very dangerous if not handled properly. Mishandling of nuclear power causes nuclear blast that is very dangerous and causes great havoc than natural, physical, chemical and mechanical blasts. Nuclear weapons and devices are very destructive when they explode because of nuclear fission that makes them have a lot destructive power.

Fuel tanks commonly used for storing fuel in rockets, auto motives, and air crafts are major sources of double explosion that is very destructive. Primary fires like sparks occur in the engines and the secondary fire starts due to exposure of the sparks to different types of fuels that are flammable. Double explosion can be avoided by following safety measures put in place by different institutions about combustion of fuel.

Double explosion cause greater damage than the primary blasts because velocity and force are increased leading to massive lose of life, great destruction of property and scores of people are injured. While dealing with any materials that can cause blasts, you must strictly adhere to safety precautions set aside by various institutions in order to prevent secondary blasts. This will guarantee safety of the people involved in any activity dealing with substances that are explosive.
