Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes explosive boiling during a hydrate transition in a natural gas pipeline?

A)Formation of solid hydrate blockage✓
B)Increase in gas flow velocity
C)Decrease in pipe wall stress
D)Enhanced corrosion rate of the pipe

💡 Explanation

Depressurization promotes hydrate formation because of Joule-Thomson cooling coupled with rapid phase transition which leads to solid blockages; therefore the rapid formation blocks the gas rather than increasing flow and does stresses the pipe.
