The cause of the explosion is the thermal energy delivered by the flammable/ fuel ignition source. The action of the ignition source on the flammable medium can be direct or indirect. The most common of the direct sources of ignition are open flames and electric and mechanical sparks. These sources release their energy into the environment, which, if it contains flammable substances in appropriate proportions, is initiated. This is followed by a chain of fuel oxidation reactions and by the propagation of a flame f...
