← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when rapid depressurization causes liquefied natural gas (LNG) to boil?
A)Superheated vapor forms explosively (BLEVE)✓
B)Temperature stabilizes into stable isobars
C)Pressure quickly reaches constant equilibrium
D)Slow condensation prevents rapid vaporization
💡 Explanation
A BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion) occurs because the sudden pressure drop initiates rapid phase transition. Volumetric expansion and rapid vapor formation cause an explosion, therefore option A is right, rather than slow, contained condensation.
