Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization forces isobutane through a throttling valve?

💡 Explanation

Depressurization causes adiabatic expansion via the Joule-Thomson effect during phase change; because throttling maintains constant enthalpy, increased vapor volume occurs. Therefore, vapor mass fraction increases rather than temperature stability or ideal gas, because this transition uses saturated fluid's phase envelope.
