Your forearms? Those aren´t designated hitboxes and therefore don´t need to be protected seperately, you can leave them free. Because that´s how it works in real life.

  • @just4deez
    @just4deez ปีที่แล้ว +41

    To folks thinking this was a steam explosion: Notice how the other salts simply formed a steam bubble around itself through the Leidenfrost effect. Furthermore, putting a red hot nickel ball into water leads to the same outcome (steam blanket around the glowing red hot metal ball), with no explosion. The video also clearly shows a detonation instead of a steam explosion, where superheated water vaporizes (throughout the liquid) when the pressure drops (through failure of its containment vessel)
    To achieve these kind of detonations as observed in the video, you need the heated liquid stream to rapidly split itself apart into tiny fragments that can heat the surrounding water at a rate fast enough (the expansion of the liquid from this heating needs to be faster than the speed of shock wave propagation in the medium). This means that the liquid droplet needs to somehow obtain some amount of energy that can overcome its own surface tension and disperse itself into tiny droplets which further increases the interface area (a self-propagating, exponential process). The main way this is done is through charge. Supposedly, the Cl- ions can react with the supercritical H2O at the superheated water-salt interface to form HCl and Na+, OH-. The superior mobility of protons in water rapidly neutralizes the OH- at this interface, leading to the fast accumulation of Na+ in the molten salt itself. This charge buildup can eventually overcome the surface tension of the salt, leading to the droplet ripping itself apart. The act of the droplet ripping itself apart will further increase the salt-water interface. Eventually the salt-water mixture turns into steam and we see the detonation in this video. I might be wrong with some of the details but I think some form of charge accumulation in the salt overcoming surface tension should be the main cause.

    It's called a 'Steam Explosion'. It's caused by violent boiling or flashing of water or ice turning into steam, occurring when water or ice is either superheated, rapidly heated, or heated by the interaction of molten materials (doesn't matter if it's salt, metal, sugar or something else). Due to the rapid evaporation of the water, it reacts violently and causes an explosion of steam due to the great increase in pressure. This is very common around volcanoes as hot lava meets sea water or ice.

    This is a physical process called Molten Fuel Coolant Interaction (MFCI or FCI). It is the same process that occurs with magma and water during explosive phreatomagmatic eruptions. Your example is correct, a vapour film is formed around the fuel and this expands so fast like a wave and generates the explosion.

    You're right when assuming a physical reaction. Molten Sodium-Chloride got's the right mixture of heat capacity, less surface tension and not too much heat conductivity to instantly form a cover of steam around it when divided by the first steam explosion. Instead there where formed a lot of small salt drops who where divided again instead of instantly form the protecting steam bubble around.

  • @bansoma
    @bansoma 8 ปีที่แล้ว +59

    As a chemist I can shed some light on the reaction. First, you are correct that this reaction isn't chemical in nature. The key differences between the substances are their solubility in water, and also their thermal conductivity. The NA-CL (Sodium Chloride) is highly soluble in water, dissolving NA-CL in water is also quite endothermic and comes with a higher osmotic pressure. This means that the NA-CL distributes through the water faster than the other substances. Once the NA-CL is distributed in the water it causes the water to boil and expand. If you watch the video again you can see the other substances in a clump with the boiling water vapor in a shell around them. They boil the water before they spread through the water. Thermal conductivity is loosely defined as the rate at which a substance can heat its surroundings. If you were to increase the thermal conductivity of the NA-CL it would also boil the water before it could spread.

  • @dugebuwembo
    @dugebuwembo 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    From chat gpt:
    Molten salt can cause explosions when it comes into contact with water due to a phenomenon known as "thermal shock" or "steam explosion." When a substance, like molten salt, is at a very high temperature and comes into sudden contact with a much cooler substance, like water, the extreme temperature difference can lead to rapid and violent vaporization of the water.
    Here's what happens in more detail:
    1. **Rapid Cooling:** Molten salt is at a very high temperature. When it comes into contact with water, which is at a much lower temperature, the heat energy from the molten salt is transferred to the water very quickly.
    2. **Rapid Vaporization:** The intense heat causes the water to vaporize almost instantly, turning into steam. This rapid vaporization creates a sudden increase in pressure.
    3. **Pressure Buildup:** The steam generates pressure within the water, and because it's trapped by the molten salt's surface layer, the pressure builds up very quickly.
    4. **Explosive Release:** The pressure buildup can become so rapid and intense that it can rupture the molten salt's surface layer, causing an explosive release of steam, hot salt particles, and potentially even molten salt droplets. This explosive release is what creates the "explosion."
    This phenomenon is similar to what happens when you throw water onto a hot stove or into hot cooking oil, though the specifics of the reaction can vary depending on the particular substances involved. It's important to note that the presence of dissolved salts in water can also affect the vaporization process, contributing to the explosive nature of the reaction between molten salt and water.

    In 1972 I worked at Elmira Heat Treat on upstate NY. They did various metals heat treatments to harden steel -My job as to dip 5 lawnmower blades in to a salt pot furnace for +20 seconds (incredibly hot-red/white melted salt) - move them to a special treated fire repressed oil bath to harden/cool them and then, after a set time to water bath for further cooling and then on to the drip-dry rack.
    One day I witnessed from +20 yards a co-worker grab from the wrong rack - the drip-dry rack of wet blades and when he dropped them in the pot pretty much all the melted salt instantly exploded out of the pot ...everywhere...he was lucky that he had protective gear on but there were serious burns on all exposed skin, upper arms and neck...I suspect he still has scars from it today

    1-When you drop molten sodium chloride into water unlike sodium (which is lighter than water) it sinks in (it is heavier than water).
    2- The super hot ball of molten salt flash vaporizes the water. A thin vapor film separates the water and hot surface and temporarily the situation is stable.
    3- The molten salt is not like liquid tin and does not have great surface tension so it makes a ball full of cracks and water gets inside some of the cracks.
    4- The liquid water inside the crack flashes into the vapor and its volume suddenly expands by 1800 times. The local area around the crack inflates violently.
    5- Since the rapid expansion of the outer molten salt surrounding the inflated crack is inside water and expanding faster than speed of sound in the water, it makes a supersonic shock wave. The shock wave in the water is the explosion or Big Bang.
    Thanks for a great question. I really had fun watching the video and other pictures of this experiment again and again. And you high school kids out there, DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT SUPERVISION. It looks really dangerous

    It's not a mystery!
    1) NaCl is highly crystalline and has FCC lattice structure, whereas molten salt doesn't.
    2) when poured into water, the molten NaCl quickly retains it's structure. This process releases heat suddenly. Sound is also an energy.
    3) In that process the space gets compressed and hence vacuum is created.
    4) The adjacent water molecules rushes to fill the gap (vacuum). However, the water molecules that comes in contact gets heated up and expand.
    5) This collision between the molecules rushing to the centre and steam molecules rushing away from the centre cause the disturbance.
    Note: we don't notice this with other salts, as most of the salts are hydrated and are not highly crystalline like NaCl.

    • @mauriciobob
      @mauriciobob 5 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Try Me Crystalinity may justify in part the explosion. However solubility of NaCl is much higher than borax, so when NaCl is getting back to its crystal form(solid again) water penetrates between the particles and its heat generates water vapor that expands and explodes

    Just for something to look at they are both awesome. The first molten salt expansion in water could use a light food coloring in the water. Where as to excentuate the texture of the salt body. Maybe a back light would be necessary to view clearly? Or blacklight neon water

    +TheBackyardScientist Clearly the explosion is down to the analogue imbalance transition within the hyperbolic prokaryotic valance. This is because the expanse of the proton's derek-rods cannot breach the occluded pivot telomerase.
