Which outcome occurs inside distillation columns in chemical plants when internal pressure exceeds design limits?

💡 Explanation

Rupture of the distillation column happens because hoop stress via excessive pressure exceeds the material's tensile strength, leading to catastrophic failure; therefore structural collapse occurs, rather than alternative changes in vapor-liquid equilibrium because those assume an intact system.
