Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes liquefied natural gas (LNG) 'rollover'?

A)Stratification within liquid LNG occurs
B)Homogeneous cryogenic fluid is maintained
C)Forced convective heat transfer stabilizes
D)LNG remains subcooled without vaporizing

💡 Explanation

Stratification occurs because differential density causes layering, and mass transfer between layers then triggers 'rollover'. This **density-driven convective mixing** increases boil-off to potentially hazardous levels, therefore stratification happens rather than stability due to heat input or phase changes alone.
