← ScienceWhich process limits complete energy extraction during phase transitions?
A)Hysteresis prevents complete phase reversal
B)Surface tension opposes nucleation always
C)Latent heat induces temperature buffering
D)Equilibrium favors mixed coexisting phases✓
💡 Explanation
Mixed-phase equilibrium prevents complete energy extraction because thermodynamic equilibrium favors a combination of phases at saturation, rather than a full transition. Coexistence occurs because entropy increases in the mixture, therefore full energy removal isn't possible rather than a sharp cutoff due to other kinetics.
