Which outcome occurs when a supercritical fluid is rapidly decompressed across a turbine?

💡 Explanation

Rapid decompression causes adiabatic cooling due to minimal heat transfer and the Joule-Thomson effect, cooling the fluid rapidly because the enthalpy remains constant leading to a temperature drop; therefore, phase transition can occur rather than remaining a gas or forming liquids instantly.
