Which outcome occurs when thermal load exceeds graphite's sublimation threshold used in rocket nozzles?

💡 Explanation

Increased enthalpy of dissociation occurs during sublimation of graphite because strong covalent bonds between its carbon atoms break endothermically, therefore consuming energy rather than simply melting. Alternative thermal effects include temperature distributions not phase changes.
