It is called "overpressure" or "excessive pressure buildup." This occurs when gas or vapor builds up within a confined space, causing increased pressure that can lead to potential hazards such as explosions.
1 answer
yes, because there is no room for expansion and if your pressure is close to 30lbs or goes over it will cause your reliefe valve to dump to prevent overpressure of system

Nitrogen by itself does not support combustion. But if pressuring a vessel with nitrogen and allowing it to overpressure (beyond vessel limits) a vessel can explode by fatigue.
Under pressure, for example when scuba diving, yes, but otherwise, I don't think so.

Yes it does, attempting to fire a .357sig round in a .40cal bbl will cause overpressure, case separation, and possible explosive failure of the firing chamber. Never fire any round in a barrel that was not designed for it!

Excess pressure, also known as overpressure, refers to a situation where the pressure in a system or container exceeds the desired or safe level. This can lead to potential risks such as leaks, ruptures, or explosions. It is important to monitor and control excess pressure to ensure the safety and efficiency of the system.

The function of the catalyst is to stimulate the reaction of H2 with O2 to H2O. At the end of the anaerobic program on the Anoxomat, there is a little overpressure in the jar. After a few minutes the catalyst takes care that the pressure in the jar reduces and that there's no oxygen left.

There are three things that can cause this, and what "this" is, is crankcase overpressure. The most common, and cheapest, is a clogged PCV valve. Change that, and in most cases the problem is solved. The other two are bad valve guides and broken piston rings - neither of which you want because you fix them by tearing the engine down.

A rupture diaphragm is a thin barrier designed to burst at a specific pressure, usually installed in pressure vessels or equipment to protect them from overpressure. When the pressure inside the vessel exceeds the designed limit, the rupture diaphragm bursts, allowing the excess pressure to be released and preventing potential damage or explosion.

Gauges also have a water connection, so it's possible that it could be frozen as well. Alternatively, your gauge could have failed from frozen water causing an overpressure condition on the membrane that it uses to measure pressure inside it. You probably will need to have it replaced.

To adjust the pump pressure switch for optimal system performance, locate the switch on the pump and use a screwdriver to adjust the pressure setting. Increase the pressure if the system is not working efficiently, and decrease it if there are issues with overpressure. Test the system after each adjustment to ensure it is functioning properly.

The Superheater safety valve must be the lowest set safety valve on any boiler, in order that flow through the superheater is maintained.
If the drum valve were set lower the flow through the superheater would be disrupted on an overpressure.

A thermal relief valve is a liquid-only relief due to expansion of a liquid with increased temperature.
A safety valve relieves pressure due to a gas.
It should be noted that "safety valve" is a general term which could refer to Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) or Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs), terms which are used synonymously in some industries (such as the petroleum industry) to refer to all relief devices in general.

When a soda can is dropped, the pressure inside the can increases due to the sudden force applied. Opening the can immediately can cause the carbonated drink to foam up and potentially overflow. Allowing the can to settle for a moment after being dropped helps to stabilize the pressure inside before opening.

PSV stands for Pressure Safety Valve, which is designed to release excess pressure in a system to prevent overpressure. PRV stands for Pressure Reducing Valve, which is used to lower the pressure of a fluid in a system to a desired level. PSV protects against high pressure while PRV controls pressure within a specific range.

Most likely, it's normal operation. Most vehicles have what's called a cycling clutch compressor. A sensor bulb detects when the system reaches the predetermined high pressure limit, and disengages the compressor clutch to prevent overpressure in the AC system. When the system pressure drops to the predetermined low pressure, it reengages the compressor clutch.

It really depends on the terrain surrounding the blast and the altitude of the blast. EMP would be negligible, as those effects are only seen during very high altitude detonations (in space or upper atmosphere, for instance). I'd have to say a safe answer of one to two miles if you're including overpressure capable of damaging a building or less as a general rule for a weapon of this yield.
According to my circular slide rule nuclear weapons effects calculator, the blast damage radius (defined as 1 PSI maximum overpressure) for a 20KT surface burst is 2 miles, assuming level terrain. It would leave a crater in soil 0.0145 miles (25.52 yards) deep and 0.06 miles (105.6 yards) radius at the lip, or in rock/concrete 0.012 miles (21.12 yards) deep and 0.05 miles (88 yards) radius at the lip.

Salt Lake City covers an area of 110.4 square miles. To simplify the calculation I will assume this is circular (which it isn't). Thus the estimated radius of the city is 5.9 miles.
5 psi dynamic maximum overpressure (which will damage or destroy most conventional structures) can be produced at this range by a 25 megaton bomb.
50 psi dynamic maximum overpressure (which will destroy all but hardened structures) can be produced at this range by a 400 megaton bomb. No bomb of this yield has ever been built.
Fires ignited by thermal radiation can be produced at this range by a 1 megaton bomb and it is likely these could merge into a firestorm that would destroy the city.
However it is very unlikely that a single bomb would be used, instead six to ten 100 kiloton to 300 kiloton bombs scattered across the area would produce more damage at less cost.

This is caused due to worn piston rings. You need overhaul the engine
a stopped up PVC system will cause this also.
Worn valve guides can also cause this. Have a wet and dry compression check done
to determine if you need a valve job or a rebuild.
SummaryThe basic answer is excessive crankcase pressure. Too much pressure in the oil gallery can cause the dipstick to literally be ejected, and spew oil-soaked gases all over the place.The causes of the overpressure are several. The easiest (and cheapest) one to check and fix first is the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve. If you put in a new one, my bet is that your problem will be solved.
However, if a new PCV valve doesn't get it done, you have more expensive issues at hand. The two primary causes of crankcase overpressure (other than the PCV valve not working) are, as previous posters said, broken/worn piston rings and worn valve guides and seals. Either condition will cause overpressure in the crankcase, and oily "smoke" to barf out your dipstick tube.
ADDITION
Every customer I had come in with clogged crankcase ventilation system problems, I started with the PCV, then went to a compression check. It's always important to run a vacuum check also. This will tell you if it's bad valves. If the compression is dead in one cylinder, take a thin steel rod, or maybe a straightened coat hanger and tap around the edges of the piston, then across the head. I've had a few that for one reason or another, had holes in the piston, causing a lot of blow-by.

Instant electrocution
If enough current passes through your skull in a short time, enough heat could be generated to vaporize the water in your brain, causing it and the skull to explode. With extremely high voltages capable of generating high currents, electrocution is nearly instantaneous and causes severe burns, amputations, and internal damage from rapidly expanding gases. AnswerNo, you can't get someone's head to explode with electricity. Back when we used to execute people in electric chairs, a lot of them would bleed through the nose or the eyes. What happened is the brain boiled over, causing pressure, but the pressure blew out the soft membranes between the brain pan and the person's eye sockets or nasal cavity, and the blood-laced cranial fluid would leak out.Now, if your brain chamber was completely sealed, the overpressure could split the joints that hold your skull together and your head would explode...but there are plenty of places in your head that are soft enough to let out the overpressure without splitting these joints.

Yes it could. I'm fixing a 1st gen Neon 95-99 right now. The PCV valve, redundant I kn ow, is old and stopped up. The blowby overpressure pushed out the camshaft seal. New PCV, little RTV on the old seal, should be good as new.
PS My sisters car was losing maybe 2 quarts a day, only when running.

Design pressure is the maximum pressure a system is designed to withstand, while working pressure is the pressure at which a system operates during normal conditions. Design pressure accounts for safety factors and potential overpressure situations, while working pressure represents the typical operating conditions of the system. It is important for the design pressure to be higher than the working pressure to ensure the system can handle occasional pressure spikes or other abnormal conditions.
