kapselõhke

Kapselõhke, also known as capsule explosion or capsule burst, refers to a phenomenon where a sealed capsule or container experiences a rapid and often violent release of its contents due to a buildup of internal pressure. This pressure can arise from various sources, including chemical reactions, heating of volatile substances, or physical changes within the capsule. The sudden expansion of gases or liquids can lead to the rupture of the capsule material, expelling its contents forcefully.

The effects of a kapselõhke can range from minor spillage to significant damage. In industrial settings, uncontrolled capsule explosions can pose safety hazards, potentially causing injuries or equipment damage. The materials contained within the capsule also play a role in the severity of the event; for instance, the explosion of a capsule containing flammable or corrosive substances would have more dangerous consequences than one containing inert materials.

Understanding the conditions that lead to a kapselõhke is crucial for preventing such incidents. This involves careful consideration of the materials used in the capsule, the stability of its contents, and the environmental conditions it may be subjected to. Proper sealing, pressure relief mechanisms, and temperature control are common strategies employed to mitigate the risk of capsule explosions. The term is often used in technical contexts related to packaging, manufacturing, and chemical safety.
