Which risk significantly increases when a sealed cryogenic tank containing liquid nitrogen experiences external heating?

A)Tank pressure exceeds design limits
B)Nitrogen undergoes spontaneous polymerization
C)Vacuum insulation completely collapses inwards
D)Molecular nitrogen forms stable hydrates

💡 Explanation

The tank pressure increases beyond design thresholds because the heat input accelerates the phase transition from liquid to gas via vaporization, therefore the expanding nitrogen gas can cause a violent overpressure rupture rather than polymerization or hydrate formation.
