1. Thermal runaway is more typical of electrically conductive liquids such as salty water.2. The battery had signs of short circuiting and thermal runaway . 3. The reactor cooling system, which lacked backups, failed; this led to a thermal runaway . 4. This configuration employs negative feedback to prevent thermal runaway and stabilize the operating point. 5. Internal shorts from manufacturing defect or physical damage can lead to spontaneous thermal runaway . 6. Many electronic circuits contain special provisions to prevent thermal runaway . 7. Under certain conditions, glass can exhibit thermal runaway in a microwave to the point of melting. 8. This process is referred to as thermal runaway . 9. The battery employs only nonflammable materials and neither ignites on contact with air nor risks thermal runaway . 10. Some laboratory reactions must be run under extreme cooling, because they are very prone to hazardous thermal runaway .
