← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid isentropic expansion occurs?
A)Condensation forms due induced expansion.✓
B)Superheating occurs within fluid stream.
C)Viscosity decreases abruptly channel endpoint.
D)Laminar flow remains unaffected expansion.
💡 Explanation
Condensation occurs because adiabatic expansion cools the gas, reaching saturation; the induced expansion causes the gas temperature to drop below its dew point, initiating nucleation, therefore water droplets form rather than remaining in vapor phase because the pressure has shifted.
