← ScienceWhich consequence occurs when rapid heating of pressurized propane occurs?
A)Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion✓
B)Controlled deflagration via catalytic converter
C)Supercritical fluid energy state achieved
D)Endothermic cracking into simpler alkanes
💡 Explanation
BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) occurs because the heat input causes rapid vaporization within a confined space; therefore pressure increase exceeds the tank's limits rather than controlled combustion due to catalysts.
