Can humans explode?
Humans don’t explode in space. Even though outer space represents a lack of air pressure, which usually counters the internal pressure in our bodies, our tissue is strong enough to handle the imbalance.
Can an explosion create life?
And in nature, volcanic explosions provide nutrients to the surrounding soil, and some explosions in space have led to the development of life (e.g. supernova explosions).
Can humans randomly combust?
The answer is almost certainly no. None of the proposed scientific explanations for how a body would spontaneously burst into flames have held up to scrutiny.
How can we prevent the explosion of a mine?
Preventive techniques comprising methane drainage, use of permissible equipment, mixing inert material, such as limestone dust, with coal dust to render it inert are explained. Finally, the use of stone dust barriers to contain the explosion within a section is presented.
How to determine if a combustible mixture is explosive?
Techniques to determine if a mixture of combustible and inert gases are explosive are presented. Minimum ignition energy (MIE) and minimum temperatures for ignition for both gas and dust are presented. Impact of methane, moisture, particle size, and volatile content of coal on coal dust explosion is discussed.
What are the benefits of coal mine degasification?
This limits the extent of damage to mine structures within the section and minimizes widespread losses of life and property. Proper coal mine degasification minimizes, if not eliminates, the danger of mine explosion and the loss of lives. It also cuts down the cost of coal production.
How to prevent the explosion of coal dust?
Impact of methane, moisture, particle size, and volatile content of coal on coal dust explosion is discussed. Preventive techniques comprising methane drainage, use of permissible equipment, mixing inert material, such as limestone dust, with coal dust to render it inert are explained.
