Which consequence results when cryogenic storage tank columns’ internal pressure increases beyond vent capacity?

A)Column axial buckling occurs rapidly
B)Material embrittlement delays crack propagation
C)Refrigerant experiences adiabatic compression
D)Latent heat protects structural integrity

💡 Explanation

Column axial buckling results from excessive pressure because the increased force exceeds the column's critical load, initiating rapid catastrophic structural failure via Euler Buckling. Therefore, buckling occurs rather than adiabatic compression because the structural limits are reached first.
