How can the continuous addition of heat in a closed system cause it to explode?

Answer:
The heat builds pressure
Explanation:
Consider an ideal gas in a closed system (like a gas in a container: in this case, the volume of the gas is fixed). The ideal gas equation states that:
where
p is the gas pressure
V is the gas volume
n is the number of moles of the gas
R is the gas constant
T is the gas temperature
If heat is added to the gas, its temperature T increases. n and R are constant, and V is constant as well (the container does not change its volume), so this means that the pressure of the gas, p, increases as well. The more heat is added, the more the temperature increases, the more the pressure increase: at some point, the pressure against the internal walls of the container will become so strong that the container will explode.

Answer:
✓ A cyclone device accumulates fine particulates from the air by making a dirty air stream flow in a spiral path inside a cylindrical chamber.
✘ It consists of several long and narrow fabric filter bags suspended upside-down in a large enclosure.
✓ When dirty air enters the chamber, the larger particulates strike the chamber wall and fall into a conical dust hopper at the bottom.
✘ Fans blow dirt-filled air upward from the bottom of the enclosure, trapping dirt particles inside the filter bags and releasing clean air from the top.
✓ The top of the chamber has an outlet that lets out cleaned air.
Basically, any of these choices that have the word "filter" are wrong. The point of the cyclone device is to separate the particles without the use of filters. You can tell the right answers based on the picture attached below.
