← ScienceWhich risk increases when cryogenic fluid storage undergoes rapid mixing?
A)System-wide thermal runaway✓
B)Increased convective heat transfer
C)Elevated surface film boiling
D)Sudden pressure reduction
💡 Explanation
When mixing, layering of different-temperature cryogens promotes Rapid Phase Transition (RPT), because the sudden temperature differences cause explosive vaporization. Therefore, a thermal runaway occurs; rather than other heat transfer changes at the surface.
