← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a closed air conditioning system undergoes rapid depressurization?
A)Eutectic solidification of compressor oil
B)Formation of significant amounts fog✓
C)Increased radiative heat transfer
D)Catalytic polymerization chain reaction
💡 Explanation
Rapid depressurization leads to a sudden drop in temperature. This causes rapid phase transition of moisture in the air via adiabatic expansion; therefore visible water droplets (fog) form, rather than other effects like solidification, because air's water vapor capacity decreases.
