vrlo nagla promjena stanja (iz tekućine u plin)
Explanation:
*evo komentara jednog našeg kolege:

This "flash" is not the "flash" of "flash point" but instead, refers to the rapid, spontaneous change from a liquid to a gas (due to decompression) because it happens very, very, very quickly. It's all over in a "flash", you might say

Example sentence(s):
  • change from a high pressure liquid to a low pressure liquid/gas mixture
  • Will not suddenly and spontaneously go from a liquid state to a gaseous state due to a sudden drop in pressure.

Reference information:
imam ga, ali ne nalazim termin "flashes".
radi se o fenomenu kada je energent bio suspregnut pod točkom višom od svoje točke sagorijevanja, te pri oslobađanju, on reagira još žešće nego kod sagorijevanja: eskplozivno bljesne, recimo, ali to ne zvuči ok.

Reference: trenutni (iznenadni) bljesak??

Reference information:
(flashes je 3. lice jednine od flash)

At the flash point the application of a naked flame gives a momentary flash rather than sustained combustion, for which the temperature is too low.
