Which outcome occurs when a pressurized hydrogen tank on a fuel cell vehicle experiences rapid depressurization?

💡 Explanation

Adiabatic cooling induces phase change when rapid expansion leads to temperature drops causing hydrogen to liquefy because Joule-Thomson effect dominates over other expansions rather than leading directly to failure modes in stable tanks under designed pressures therefore the correct answer is A.
