← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a Stirling engine's regenerator matrix undergoes sublimation?
A)Iodine vapor pressure rapidly increases✓
B)Cycle efficiency remains approximately constant
C)Isothermal expansion phase becomes extended
D)Adiabatic compression phase shortens drastically
💡 Explanation
Sublimation of regenerator material will rapidly raise its partial pressure due to the added gas molecules. This outcome occurs because equilibrium is then disturbed; iodine vapor pressure rapidly increases rather than remaining stable because it surpasses the bounds of equilibrium.
