← ScienceWhich consequence results when cryogenic liquid is rapidly discharged?
A)Accelerated pipe corrosion via triboelectricity
B)Dramatic pressure increase via vaporisation✓
C)Pipe embrittlement due to sudden quenching
D)Fluid density decrease through adiabatic expansion
💡 Explanation
An elevated fluid dynamic pressure shock wave results from the rapid vaporisation and expansion after the fluid exits through the nozzle, because the large volume change of the low temperature cryogenic liquid, leads to vapor generation; therefore pressure surges rather than gradual expansion dominate.
