sorry, the perfect example a little closer to home just occurred to me

an acetylene generator

Acetylene pressure at the generator, in distribution lines and at the point of use
must not exceed 15 psi gauge pressure due to the possibility of an explosion

auto ignition via the Adiabatic process can occur (like a fire piston) at pressure above that

you might also find Adiabatic flame temperature another interesting portal to combustion thermodynamics
