Which outcome raises boiler pressure when rapidly introducing cold feedwater?

A)Steam collapse via rapid condensation
B)Increased radiative heat transfer
C)Superheated steam exceeds thermal limit
D)Scale formation reduces heat transfer

💡 Explanation

Steam collapse results because rapid condensation lowers volume, triggering a pressure drop. This initiates increased boiling to regain equilibrium via Le Chatelier's principle; the pressure then exceeds regulation, therefore steam collapse raises pressure, rather than radiative transfer issues or scale formation within expected feedwater acidity levels.
