← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when volatile liquid fuel flash-boils?
A)Vapor-lock induces fuel starvation✓
B)Fuel density increases significantly
C)Detonation prevents efficient combustion
D)Viscosity improves low-temperature flow
💡 Explanation
When flash boiling occurs, the liquid rapidly transitions to vapor via homogenous nucleation because the vapor pressure exceeds ambient. Therefore, vapor-lock induces fuel starvation, rather than detonation and other combustion problems which rely on different reaction mechanisms.
