Which outcome results when rapid vaporization occurs in cryogenic transfer lines?

💡 Explanation

A pressure surge results from rapid phase change from liquid to gas due to volumetric expansion in pipelines, because the system is often closed; therefore pressure increases, rather than other heat transfer effects at cryogenic temperatures.
