AI Thread Summary
To calculate the pressure produced by an explosion, key factors include the volume of the container, the fuel-to-air ratio, and the type of fuel used. The combustion process generates gas that expands rapidly, creating pressure against the container walls. Additional parameters such as temperature, the specific heat of the gas, and the combustion efficiency also play crucial roles. Understanding these variables is essential for accurate pressure calculations. Accurate modeling of explosive scenarios requires a comprehensive approach to all influencing factors.

Hello friends,

Iam new to this site and I hope I didn't post this form in the wrong location.

I would like to know how to calculate pressure produced by explosion?

To make it clear, here is an example:

A metal box with volume = 10cm^3. There is, let's say, gas fuel with know quantity in the box. The box have one side built with wood. So when I ignite the fuel, how much pressure will it produce to the wood?

What I am guessing, the important data we must have are;
1. Box volume.
2. fuel to air ratio.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much,

Grendizer

Yes. Those are a tiny fraction of the parameters involved. What others can you think of?
 
So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
