Which outcome reduces efficiency when liquid rocket fuel evaporates?

A)Increased nozzle throat blockage risk
B)Decreased fuel density entering pump
C)Combustion chamber pressure instability
D)Oxidizer-fuel mixing ratio deviation

💡 Explanation

Reduced fuel density occurs because vaporization absorbs heat, reducing the liquid's coolness through latent heat of vaporization, therefore the pump receives a less dense fuel rather than designed values, throwing off mass flow assumptions.
