| Aug 19, 2016 at 10:24 | comment | added | David Hammen | The question says "an event happens", not "multiple events happen, separated by some indeterminate amount of time". I would take that to mean that pool heating stopped at more or less same time that the dome lost integrity. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 20:55 | comment | added | kim holder | That's a legitimate point. I interpreted that as meaning the water doesn't continue to be heated. | |

| Aug 18, 2016 at 20:23 | comment | added | Dean MacGregor | @kimholder well the other answer makes the assumption that the dome blows away while the ambient temperature is above the sublimation point which, based on the mean, isn't likely. Further, until the edit, it didn't explicitly say that the pool couldn't remain as water which wasn't clear to me until I looked up the phase diagram. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 17:53 | comment | added | kim holder | The other answer made the point that when the dome rips, the water will be at 25 Celsius, so it will boil until it drops to it's freezing point, which seems to be right at the triple point there at 600 Pa and 0 Celsiuis. | |
