Which outcome occurs when thermal strain exceeds valve clearance?

💡 Explanation

Valve spool seizure results from thermal expansion exceeding design clearances; this is a form of thermal lock. The **reduced area** increases friction because of the valve binds, therefore motion stops rather than the operation continuing under altered flow conditions.
