Which outcome occurs when rapid depressurization initiates boiling?

A)Latent heat induces cooling
B)Expansion increases entropy alone
C)Surface tension prevents nucleation
D)Viscosity change stabilizes cavitation

💡 Explanation

When depressurization causes boiling and subsequent phase change, the mechanism of latent heat transfer absorbs energy; because the phase change from liquid to gas requires energy input, it cools the remaining liquid rather than increasing temperature via sensible heat transfer.
