| Aug 19, 2016 at 12:22 | comment | added | Blake Walsh | Something else is that depending on how deep the pool is, some of the water will still be under pressure from the weight of the water on top of it. I don't think the entire volume could boil simultaneously, only the surface would be able to. By my crude calculations, if the pool is 2m deep then the bottom of the pool would be under ~6% atm, and the boiling point would be around 35C. The surface would boil vigorously but I don't think there could be a kablammo explosion because the weight of the water would be greater than the vapor pressure for the bottom layers. | |
