A possible collision or other accident, Of course it damages vehicles. However, whether the explosion will occur or not is a big question mark.

Bride, the answer to this question Let’s give it.

First of all, from a thermodynamic perspective, an explosion is a very rapid expansion of volume and the release of a large amount of energy.

That there would be another explosion against flammable gases There is a need. Also in a closed environment where these gases can be exposed to very high pressure.

Also enough time to get something burning. Oxygen is also needed. A spark is also needed to ignite flammable gases.

On the other hand, there are a lot of small explosions that actually help the vehicle function.

The vehicle runs on gasoline and gasoline is a highly flammable liquid. But there are two different points to consider. Gasoline can be flammable but it is not explosive.

At the same time, it is not found in the car in gaseous form. Petrol, It is supplied to the engine mixed with air. and this amount is quite small. But not enough to cause a big explosion.

Only enough air is needed to push the car’s pistons. Another important factor is spark. In crashes shown in movies, especially in the fuel tank. As expected, no spark occurs.

The fuel tank is designed to hold fuel, not create pressure.

Therefore, there is not enough pressure in the fuel tank to cause an explosion. So, contrary to popular belief, cars are They are not very sensitive to explosions and even a burning car is unlikely to explode.

Even after a car has had a major impact The necessary conditions for an explosion to occur are not present. Even setting a car on fire will not cause it to explode. In this case, the car only burns as long as there is fuel in it.

Basically, unlike most things shown in movies, Cars falling and exploding like shrapnel do not reflect reality.
