Which consequence results when an automotive engine's cooling system fails?

💡 Explanation

Thermal runaway occurs because a failed cooling system shuts down convection, leading to a temperature increase accelerating reaction rates; this positive feedback quickly damages engine parts. Therefore, thermal runaway occurs, rather than those benefiting emissions control, because these depend on regulated temperatures.
