Which consequence occurs when a hydrogen storage tank reaches maximum pressure?

A)Elastomer seal creep accelerates rapidly
B)Thermal conductivity rises exponentially
C)Refrigeration capacity diminishes linearly
D)Hydrogen self-ionization cascade initiates

💡 Explanation

When the pressure limit is reached, elastomer seals experience accelerated creep because gas permeation causes swelling leading to plastic deformation, driven by pressure gradients that disrupt the intermolecular forces holding polymers together; therefore, the seal fails rather than a smooth thermal response, which describes heat removal. Hydrogen cascade initiation represents instability
