Which consequence results when rapid vaporization in a cryogenic dewar occurs?

A)Increased internal dewar pressure
B)Decreased helium gas cooling rate
C)Reduced insulation vacuum integrity
D)Elevated liquid nitrogen viscosity

💡 Explanation

Increased dewar pressure results because the heat of vaporization warms the cryogenic liquid enhancing boiling, causing a higher rate of phase change rather than maintaining a stable temperature; therefore, internal pressure increases rather than any insulation or fluid property deteriorating.
