Re: Man Burnt in Kitchen Fire
eh how did it explode? I understand that's probably some oil burning in the pan so probably when he rinse it the oil went splashing everywhere? |

Re: Man Burnt in Kitchen Fire
the surface went cool? I'm just messing with you I know about why you should never extinguish liquid base fire with water. What I don't get it is why it explode in the video. What I have in mind, since the oil on the pan is still burning the splashing took the oil airborne and with smaller oil droplets on the air probably they're easier to get lit, thus the explosion. Is that make sense? And I guess this is much more dangerous since the oil would stick to his skin/cloth. |

Re: Man Burnt in Kitchen Fire
Yes, that's what (kind of) happens. Oil - boiling point: about 300 C (572 F) Water - boiling point: about 100 C (213 F) When water comes in contact with boiling oil, it rapidly turns into steam. It's a violent phase change and considering that it's somehow contained and directed through the cooking pot's open top, the expanding volume of steam has to travel through the body of hot and less viscous oil (water is more dense than cooking oil). Tiny droplets of oil get caught in the steam and become airborne, forming a potentially flammable "aerosol". In the absence of an open flame this will result in a mild explosion (rapid expansion of volume) and some serious burns. If a flame is present (burning oil vapor in this case) the oil droplets can ignite, forming an impressive fireball. You can actually pour liquid dish soap in a pan with overheated oil. No splashes and no explosions; you'll end up with a foamy mess and irritated eyes, but it's better than a 2nd degree burn. If it's RED hot, you'll see the Leidenfrost effect: |
