← TechnologyWhich consequence results when an accumulator experiences thermal runaway?
A)Explosive pressure vessel rupture✓
B)Reduced nitrogen pre-charge pressure
C)Incomplete valve displacement
D)Increased fluid bulk modulus
💡 Explanation
A runaway reaction increases temperature and over-pressurizes the accumulator. Thermal expansion leads to explosive vessel failure via increased stress beyond its mechanical limits, because of exceeding its design parameters; therefore, catastrophic rupture, rather than subtle pressure changes occurs.
