Which consequence occurs when rapid heating of pressurized propane occurs?

💡 Explanation

BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) occurs because the heat input causes rapid vaporization within a confined space; therefore pressure increase exceeds the tank's limits rather than controlled combustion due to catalysts.
