← ScienceWhich consequence results when latent heat capacity is ignored during rapid phase transition in a cryogenic cooling system?
A)System pressure increases explosively.✓
B)Coolant boiling point sharply elevates.
C)Material embrittlement rate accelerates.
D)Joule-Thomson cooling effect stops.
💡 Explanation
Unaccounted latent heat causes rapid vaporization because it releases immense volumes; therefore pressure rises quickly, potentially exceeding design limits, rather than the boiling point changing directly or specific material property alterations via a thermal expansion mechanism.
