Chemical Reactions And Double Explosion

By Haywwod Hunter


Explosions are caused by various factors that include natural factors. Natural explosions are caused by volcanic activities that lead to eruptions. Additionally, a double explosion can occur due to collisions of two foreign bodies where celestial bodies like asteroids collide with the earth. There are reports of double explosion occurring naturally and some have resulted to injuries, deaths and widespread fire that have caused damage.



These natural blasts occur when celestial bodies like meteors and asteroids collide with other planets or space bodies. When stars experience blasts due to gamma ray bursts, they normally die or disappear from the solar system. This proves that these natural forces and activities cause double explosion that lead to great damage witnessed at the surface of the earth and environment.

Double explosion is caused by chemical reaction with artificial materials that cause the second blast to occur in place where there is the initial blast. After the initial blast, exposure to fire and electric sparks causes blasts that are very disastrous and have potential of causing a lot of damage. Some materials that may cause a double explosion include gunpowder commonly used in firearms and explosives like dynamite.



Additionally a double explosion can be caused by high electrical current that causes electricity to short circuit which leads to exploding of electrical appliances using the affected line. This leads to massive damage to household and company electronic devices and may cause injuries or even deaths to the affected people. In addition, putting a lot of pressure to an electromagnet cause double explosion that may damage any equipment using these electromagnets and even people who may be operating them.

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 energy is used to power heavy and big machinery that cannot be powered using normal sources of energy like electricity. This machinery are used for performing complex duties and tasks in big industries whereby the machine becomes overloaded and causes reactions . The reaction causes primary blasts but when nuclear energy is exposed to a primary blast, it causes a secondary blast thus a double explosion that is very hazardous because contact with nuclear energy causes radiation.

Additionally, fuel tanks are major causes of double explosion in case of a problem with engines that may explode due to collisions. This collision leads to unstable combustion of fuel that leads to double explosion in an automotive, an aircraft and even rockets. When fuel is exposed to factors like sparks that are the initial blasts, it leads to a secondary blast that can be avoided by ensuring there are no leakages.

Double explosion can be prevented and controlled in the concerned parties by ensuring that the strict code of conduct is followed when dealing with hazardous and flammable materials. This is because secondary blasts cause greater destruction of property, causes many deaths and leaves many people with injuries and serious burns. When you ensure that safety measures are adhered to, you guarantee the safety of many residents and workers at various industries.
