Which net outcome inevitably occurs when a sealed cryogenic tank undergoes self-pressurization?

A)Isenthalpic expansion cools remaining liquid
B)Reduced overall system entropy
C)Vapor pressure monotonically increases
D)Heat leaks perfectly match venting rate

💡 Explanation

Self-pressurization involves heat leak causing phase transition via vaporization, leading to pressure rise in the fixed volume because of increased gas molecules (Clausius-Clapeyron relation). Therefore, vapor pressure increases, rather than cooling, due to heat input, and entropy continually rises.
