Which consequence results when ice slurry transitions rapidly through a chilled pipe?

A)Internal pipe pressure significantly decreases
B)Pipe rupture due to volume expansion
C)Improved thermal convection reduces friction
D)Enhanced fluid viscosity near the walls

💡 Explanation

Pipe rupture increases because rapid phase transition causes volumetric expansion within fixed constraints; the mechanism is volume expansion from solid to liquid. Therefore, the pipe will rupture rather than experience lower pressure or convection decreases with higher viscosity.
