← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when pressurized liquid CO₂ undergoes rapid adiabatic expansion?
A)Vapor pressure quickly overwhelms surface✓
B)Fluid temperature increases noticeably
C)Density remains relatively constant
D)Supercritical state remains always constant
💡 Explanation
Rapid adiabatic expansion promotes liquid-vapor phase transition through the Joule-Thomson effect, because the internal energy decreases upon separation accelerating cavitation. Vapor pressure rises sharply and overwhelms surface tension, therefore bubble formation increases rather than remaining stable under compression.
