← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes liquefied natural gas (LNG) 'rollover'?
A)Stratification within liquid LNG occurs✓
B)Homogeneous cryogenic fluid is maintained
C)Forced convective heat transfer stabilizes
D)LNG remains subcooled without vaporizing
💡 Explanation
Stratification occurs because differential density causes layering, and mass transfer between layers then triggers 'rollover'. This **density-driven convective mixing** increases boil-off to potentially hazardous levels, therefore stratification happens rather than stability due to heat input or phase changes alone.
