Which outcome results when rapid vaporization occurs inside pipelines?

💡 Explanation

Liquid hammer induces pipe fracture because cavitation bubbles collapse, generating high-pressure microjets during the phase change; therefore, pipe damage results rather than predictable fluid behavior under single-phase flow conditions.
