Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes explosive boiling during a hydrate transition in a natural gas pipeline?

💡 Explanation

Depressurization promotes hydrate formation because of Joule-Thomson cooling coupled with rapid phase transition which leads to solid blockages; therefore the rapid formation blocks the gas rather than increasing flow and does stresses the pipe.
