Which risk increases when rapid depressurization causes phase transition in cryogenic fuel tanks?

💡 Explanation

When rapid depressurization occurs, the cryogenic fuel undergoes rapid phase transition (liquid to gas) because heat influx leads to volumetric expansion according to the Peng-Robinson equation of state, raising pressure inside the tank. Therefore, overpressurization is likely, rather than vapor lock, icing, or corrosion, conditions that require leaks, moisture, or oxidizers.
