Explosive boiling, often referred to as phase explosion, is a phenomenon that occurs when a liquid rapidly transitions to a gas under conditions where the heat input or reduction in pressure is sufficient to cause a sudden, violent outgassing. This process can lead to a rapid expansion of the liquid, often resulting in significant mechanical forces and even explosions.
