â ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes explosive boiling during a hydrate transition in a natural gas pipeline?
A)Formation of solid hydrate blockageâ
B)Increase in gas flow velocity
C)Decrease in pipe wall stress
D)Enhanced corrosion rate of the pipe
đĄ 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.
