Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization induces a phase transition in a supercritical fluid within piping?

💡 Explanation

When rapid depressurization occurs, rapid phase transition from supercritical state to gas creates volume increase because the fluid moves from one phase into a much larger one almost immediately. Therefore a vapor explosion risk exists, rather than pipe buckling, corrosion changes, or erosion, modes needing alternative stressors.
