What is "water splitting thermolysis in a furnace?" Plz, give a reference for this reaction.

Thanks Professor Yurii V Geletii asking for details,

I am sorry, I think I didn’t write my question properly,

If we have heat water steam in the presence of a catalyst in a reactor and provide temperature around 300 degree celsius, is the presence of hydrogen and oxygen in that reactor make a possible explosion? Assuming high production of hydrogen and oxygen. If yes, how to avoid it? I tried to explain by a diagram.

No! Steam will not magically disassociate to H2 and O2 at 300 C and explode.

However if you have a closed vessel full of water and steam and you keep heating it the high pressure steam created could cause the vessel to explode.

Thanks Rick Manner for your answer,

This reaction ll be in the presence of catalyst.

My question is suppose hydrogen produced, and we have mixture of hydrogen and oxygen along with steam and reactor is under high temperature, will it be dangerous?

Note: Vessel is not close at all.

You should not "Assuming high production of hydrogen and oxygen." You must learn thermodynamics. Equilibrium constant of the reaction H2O = H2 + 1/2O2 at 600K is around (1e-20). In steam turbines the inlet vapor temperature is around 400C.

Thanks Dr. Bilal to show your consent.

If you agree with Yuri you should recommend his answer.
