← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when rapid depressurization exceeds a liquid's vaporization rate?
A)Elevated system thermal energy gain
B)Flash boiling induced phase explosion✓
C)Minimized overall heat rejection
D)Liquid subcooling near saturation point
💡 Explanation
Phase explosion occurs if depressurization is too fast because homogenous nucleation leads to extensive vapor formation and rapid expansion rather than gradual vaporization; therefore, the liquid suddenly bursts, whereas controlled vaporization avoids rapid destabilization.
