← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid decompression triggers propane phase transition?
A)Significant temperature drop occurs locally✓
B)Tank ruptures due adiabatic compression
C)Uniform isentropic expansion takes place
D)Internal energy increases to ambient
💡 Explanation
Rapid decompression induces the Joule-Thomson effect; because this involves expansion followed by the phase transition (liquid to gas), internal energy converting causes a significant temperature drop, therefore refrigeration occurs, rather than adiabatic compression or increases in internal energy.
