← ScienceWhich outcome accelerates when a cryogenic fluid tank loses insulation?
A)Increased vapor pressure✓
B)Decreased boiling point
C)Reduced convective currents
D)Enhanced radiation shielding
💡 Explanation
Increased rate of heat transfer causes more liquid to vaporize, causing an increase in vapor pressure; the phase transition accelerates because the energy is delivered to the liquid more rapidly, therefore the pressure rises quickly, rather than maintaining a constant boiling state.
