Which risk increases when a cryogenic storage dewar warms above its critical temperature?

💡 Explanation

Cryogenic liquids boil violently with rapid warming due to rapid phase transition; the mechanism is homogeneous nucleation because the dewar's temperature increase creates a superheated state accelerating bubble formation. Therefore a phase explosion becomes more likely, rather than temperature gradients reducing or heat transfer improving.
