← ScienceWhich outcome results when rapid depressurization occurs within a closed supercritical fluid extraction system?
A)Joule-Thomson expansion causes cooling✓
B)Azeotropic distillation remains unaffected
C)Boiling point elevation becomes substantial
D)Critical opalescence effect is enhanced
💡 Explanation
The Joule-Thomson effect, in this scenario, causes cooling because the rapid expansion leads to high kinetic energy loss, therefore temperature drops rather than latent heat changes, because there's insufficient time to reach equilibrium.
