Which consequence results when the heat load exceeds a cryogenic pump's capacity?

💡 Explanation

Excessive heat causes boiling within the pump, therefore vapor-lock reduces its capacity to move liquid because the phase transition to gas occupies more volume locally, rather than maintaining liquid volume flow.
