← ScienceWhich consequence occurs if the bypass valve fails during an oil phase transition?
A)Rapid localized pressure increase occurs✓
B)Increased viscosity decreases energy efficiency
C)Decreased lubrication triggers oxidation reaction
D)Erosion accelerates from vapor bubble generation
💡 Explanation
A blocked valve invokes increased pressure because constant volume heat addition causes rapid pressure rise during phase transition (Isochoric Process). Therefore, rapid pressure increase rather than increased viscosity because phase changes are independent.
