← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when the isochoric cooling of superheated steam halts at the saturation line?
A)Increased liquid formation rate✓
B)Decreased condensation nuclei count
C)Constant specific enthalpy ensues
D)Reduced homogenous nucleation onset
💡 Explanation
Increased liquid formation rate happens because further cooling initiates phase transition via condensation; the mechanism is heterogeneous nucleation. Therefore, the formation rate increases to maintain saturation, rather than changing enthalpy while pressure drops in vapor.
