These are some of the key factors you will want to consider in defining a safe process. Effects of thermal runaway A runaway exothermic reaction can have a range of results from the boiling over of the reaction mass, to large increases in temperature and pressure that lead to an explosion.

The narrator first concludes that the world must end in fire, yet after considering his experience with "ice", which is hatred, the narrator acknowledges that is would be equally destructive. The use of comparing fire and ice with desire and hate catches the readers attention and helps to convey Frost's point into the poem. Putting this poem in the context of a relationship, desire and hate are emotions that people often feel. Although the first two lines of the poem suggests that there can only be a single way that the world will be destroyed between fire and ice, the narrator undercuts this requirement by acknowledging that both sources could successfully destroy the world. Moreover, the fact that he had personal experience with both desire and hatred reveals fire and ice are not exclusive.
