← ScienceWhich consequence results when a pressure relief valve fails to actuate in a closed steam sterilization chamber during its heating phase?
A)Explosive chamber rupture occurs immediately✓
B)Water forms rather than superheated steam
C)Internal temperature will sharply decrease
D)Latent heat transfer efficiency lowers gradually
💡 Explanation
Explosive rupture occurs because the mechanism of runaway temperature results in excessive pressure beyond the chamber's structural limit due to constant heat input; therefore structural failure results, rather than limited non-explosive outcomes under controlled phase transition.
