Which consequence results when superfluid helium-4 undergoes rapid depressurization?

A)Increased Bose-Einstein condensate fraction
B)Onset of quantized vortex shedding
C)Boiling transition causing rapid heating
D)Dramatic viscosity increase above lambda

💡 Explanation

Rapid depressurization triggers nucleate boiling because latent heat demand exceeds conductive heat supply, therefore helium transitions violently to a gaseous state, rather than a continuous superfluid film since temperature cannot remain constant.
