Which 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.
