Which outcome occurs when an adiabatic flash drum receives a high-enthalpy liquid stream with insufficient residence time?

💡 Explanation

Reduced vapor-liquid equilibrium occurs due to insufficient residence time for phase change. Rate-limited mass transfer is the mechanism whereby equilibrium cannot fully establish because the liquid stream passes through too rapidly; therefore, the composition in the phases deviate from ideal equilibrium assumptions rather than alternatives such as flow rates.
